While I find comfort knowing you're free from pain, my heart is shattered at the loss of my beloved sister-my lifelong best friend. You were an angel on earth, and now you are an angel in heaven. I'm so grateful that you're reunited with your true love, Blue, and flying with our other angels-Mom, Dad, Dominic, Johnny, Paul & Shiloh. Together, you are all watching over me. As I continue on, your generous spirit, boundless patience, quick wit, and ability to find the silver lining in every challenge will inspire me every day. I will forever miss your beautiful smile, humor and kind heart. I will miss you deeply, my beautiful sister. It was an honor and a blessing to be your little sister, and I will cherish that always.
