It has been 20 days now, that my sister Sandy died. I am still, so very heart broken. But I know that Sandy is with Mom and Dad, and Susie, and her twins that passed. Sandy’s body passed from illness, but her heart passed, from being broken. Too many tears at so many Christmas’s, birthdays, Mothers days, that passed, without a word. She is where love is freely given now, not for price. I love you sister, I miss you. Lori
