Well, my “little sister”, you will be missed. You never missed sending a birthday or Christmas card and I always loved getting them. We had a real chaotic childhood, but you were always there with a smile and hug. Loved you very much sis!!
Brilee, we are all thinking of you. We love you!
This for you mom! For all the green thumb ideas you shared!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
