Ruth,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family today and days to come. Know that God is your strength and your healer.
My beautiful sister I don’t know where to begin. Let me start off by saying that my heart is so heavy that you are no longer with us. I will forever cherish all the wonderful memories that I have of you. I call my voicemail everyday just to hear your voice. I think of you every minute of every hour. God blessed us with you but it was time for you to go home to him. You served as an angel on this earth and now you must serve as one in heaven. It sure does hurt and I know its selfish but I want you here back with us. I’m going to miss you calling me Baby Girl and just you always being there for me. You loved hard and gave every little piece of yourself to everyone. I’m going to miss you Sis and you will forever be in my heart and on my mind. This is not goodbye only see you later in Heaven. I love you very much and thanks for being a Big sister to me. Rip
