"I wish I could've gotten to know you more. You had a whole family that loved you so dearly. I remember mom telling me about you so many times and the memories yall shared. She loved you as more than just a sister. You meant so much to so many people and that is so clear to see. You brought so much joy to people around you and I'm so glad to be apart of your loving family. You will be so tremendously missed but you are in a better place where we all will get to finally meet again someday. Prayers to the family and much love."
In loving memory of
