My wonderful sister. I can’t tell you how much I will miss you. It was an honor and blessing to have you in my life. We really got to know each so well . It was such a joy watching you become your own person after you moved in with Patty. I learned so much about you and what wonderful taste you had. You were so fun to be around and you made us all laugh. I loved watching you buy all the things that you loved so much. It was so fun helping you and Patty decorate your new home, especially your beautiful bedroom. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. I know ow much of your life was very difficult for you and I’m so grateful that you found happiness. I’m also happy that you are finally at peace hanging out with Mom and Dad and all our loved ones. I just know that you are sitting with Cali cause she loved you so much.Thank you for my beautiful cardinals I will cherish it and you always!

My Kathy, my first playmate and friend. We grew up together, played paper dolls, shopped for penny candy, and spent so many summers together at the playground. I have so many wonderful memories that continued into adulthood, all our little vacations and trips to the Zoo. We became roommates’ again for 20 plus years, helped each other through some difficult things, but mostly just happy times. I don’t know how I am going to go on without you, but I found your little note, so I know you were ready to leave and join our parents and family in Heaven God answered your prayer, you got to go first……. I will do my best and you know I will have all of those who love us both to help me, so I will be ok. Enjoy yourself and be there to welcome me to heaven when my time to join you. I am so very blessed to have had you in my life, I will miss you every single day. I love you so very much……….♠ PATRICIA
My wonderful big sister. I will miss you so much. You were the kindest sweetest person with such a great sense of humor and a beautiful smile. You could always find joy in the simplest things in life that many of us take for granted. You bought me my first real drum set. I had to give up all future birthday and Christmas presents from you for the remainder of my childhood. But it was worth it. You helped me on my way to a lifetime of drumming and playing music. I have always been so grateful and think of you often when I play. You were truly one of a kind and you meat so much to me and all of us.
❤️John
