Sister...I wish Heaven had a telephone, so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that was nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence...I often speak your name. All I have are memories, and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake for which I'll never part. God has you in his arms...I have you in my heart! Suzie
