I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Sis. She was not only my cousin but one of my closest friends. I will miss being able to pick up the phone and call her anytime day or night to chat about everything under the sun.

Oh,Sis, this is a lovely picture of you. I am blessed to have known you and to call you "Sis." I will truly miss talking to you, and, yet, I am comforted to know that your now private line is temporarily reserved for your dearest departed loved ones. RIP, beloved. Diane
