    To My Loving Sister…we have shared many good and bad times over the years, haven’t we? I will ALWAYS treasure the memories we shared. You were a good sister and friend to me. When mom died, you became a mother figure to me. You were there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on and always gave me good advice and support.
    You will be TRULY missed. You now are in Heaven with mom and other loved ones.
    GOD bless you, and peace be with you…

    Much love,
    Your sister,
    Cheryl

I know it to be true that the Lord does sustain us, and I am convinced he does that in part through the concern and love of family and friends, and you have a great deal of that kind of support.
