      My dear sister, how special you have been in my life, like a mother. I can’t recall we ever had an argument, always loving and kind. How hard to let go, heaven awaits. I treasure the weekend visits, our coffee time together. How you enjoyed looking out the kitchen window for the white squirrels, admiring the tall trees, and enjoying Buddy dog as he happily greeted you. Rest in peace, family awaits. until we meet again,
      Love you dearly.
