I miss you so much! I was waiting for you to come into the library and tell us all about your European vacation. It was such a sad and shocking time when Dan came with your library card! Here I am still not quite sure you have moved on, with your life completed. Remember, I Just became your big sister this year! RIP, until we meet again.
Sincere condolences to Dan, and all your family.
