A Tribute to our sister

From the day we were old enough to realize you were our Sister, we knew that God had blessed us with the best sister in the world.  Your radiant smile, gentle spirit and love you always showed us will live in our hearts forever. You were so smart and a good teacher to us growing up and always encouraged us to strive to be the best. The love for your family, friends and anyone that met you, your genuine spirit could surely be felt.  You have departed this earthly life but will live on in our hearts and memories When we look up to the sky at night, we will surely remember your bright light shining amongst the stars Soar in the heavens, our beautiful Sister until we meet again. You are now free Big Sister with our Lord and Savior.
