My Dearest Sister:

It is so hard to wakeup and believe that you have reached the shore ! I know that you are with mom and she is so happy to see you. Her dear child is home with her. In that place that the Heavenly Father prepared for you, no more pain and no more sorrow. I am still trying to wake up as I just cannot believe that we traveled so far in life to the ages that we are. Where did the time go. Life here on earth is so short. For it is only but a blink of an eye and it is over. In time I know that I will be knocking on the door ready to enter in. Till then I will miss you and will always know that you are in a good place. I know that you are looking down upon your loved ones and smiling. For you were loved much by each and every one. Hard times, fights, are never permanent but the love that one has for another stands the test of time.

Your Little Sister, Kathy
