Sure going to miss my big sister & best shopping buddy! Thanks for taking me under your wing & helping raise me when our mom passed away & I was but a baby.You raised me right along with your own children & made me part of your family. You did the same again when dad died & I was only 16. At that age, I sometimes felt you looked out for me too well! You didn't let me get away with too much! Between you & Berta, I some times felt like I had too many moms looking after me. Guess it was all for the good as I turned out an ok person in the end. Please rest in eternal peace. You've had a bit of a rough life with the cancer bouts & it is your time to rest. Now I will look out for your children for you. I"ll miss seeing you every day or speaking to you on the phone. Life is not going to be the same without you. Thanks also for all the fun times we had together. I will not say good bye as I know I will see you again shortly. Your sister, Connie
