Sweet Baby Girl little sister, I am so proud to have been your BFF at THE LAKE….
I will miss you so much.
All the great laughter and a little bit of tears we shared. Our shared feelings were so important to me too and I will cherish and remember all of them forever.
Our bond was strong from the first time we met and it grew stronger as time went by. I watched you and wished I could be as strong as you were. You said you’d teach me how and you did. I value ever day I was privileged to call you my friend. Our time was short but our love for each other filled those years as if it had been a lifetime.
I know the suffering you had while here but now the Lord has you right where you belong with him and all the pain and suffering is gone.
