See Condolences

Losing you has been hard, and has brought to mind so many cherished memories of family togetherness. Spending Sundays at Papa and Grandmother's farm and groves in the country and learning to swim in the late there, sitting in the back seat as Daddy taught you to drive, and picking bunches of wild phlox along the roadside to take to Grandmother. And I will always treasure the memories of our trip with Mother and our girls to Europe and also the one to many historical sites in the US. You have been not only a wonderful, loving, fun, and always supportive sister, but a great friend, and I will miss you every day of my life.
