"I?m having the hardest time trying to process and wrap my head around you not being here anymore. It?s like I?m stuck in a nightmare that I can?t wake up from. I want to call and text but there?s no answer. No returned messages. This just isn?t fair. You deserved to be happy. You deserved to be free. Free here on earth. What pain you endured the past 3 years only you and God knows. He decided to take you from us to free you from that pain and misery. I?ve been so angry with him. Cussing him. But he only did what you asked of him. He took the pain and hurt away and set you free. I?ll love you for all eternity. I will see you again, please wait for me. There?s so much I need to say to you. Rest easy my sister. Fly free. Please visit me in my dreams. I miss you more than you could ever imagine. I?ll be waiting. "
In loving memory of
