i miss her i loved her as a cousin
My little sister was the best sister I could ever ask for. We always played games we made up together and loved joking around when we were younger. I hope she will fly high forever
I miss her so much, when I lived in the marion village with her we would always play together and hangout, I remember the one time we had a picnic and we ate bagels and scooby do snacks and we just talked for hours. That will forever be my favorite memory with her. She was such a beautiful girl. I wish I still talked with her after she moved but we lost contact:( I wish I could have hugged her and told her I care about her. I didn’t want her thinking I didn’t care. I always thought about her. I miss her so much. I hope she’s flying high. She’s painting the sky very pretty. Here are some pictures that’s just reminded me of beautiful Lexi. She will always have a special spot in my heart. I love you Lexi.<3 kayla s 🙂
