Momushka the selfish part of me wants you to still be here. My best friend from birth, I miss hearing your voice, watching you dance when I would leave (that sounds funny!) the stories of your life growing up and working as a nurse. How you loved us all and would never pick a “favorite” but I always knew it was me!! most of all I’ll miss hearing you call my name “Sissy”. No one else ever called me that. It always made me feel special. My heart is broken into a million pieces and I know I will never be the same. I will miss you everyday I walk this earth.
The other part of me knows you are with dad and no longer suffering. You always said you didn’t know why God didn’t take you because you missed him so much. You weren’t sure of your purpose here. But God knew we needed you a bit longer. Although it wasn’t long enough for me I know you are with Annie and dad your momma and Kairi and Christopher laughing and having a great time free from the life we have here. Thank you God for giving me this Angel for 62 years.

She was mom’s best friend and they spoke daily. When mom passed she was the one who alerted us as they were past due their talk. She was a nice lady. Ann’s son Neville.
