Yesterday was the 31st Anniversary of your Death. This year just seemed to be one of those harder years to put all of my feelings into words yesterday, but hopefully I can today. Even though the world just keeps on spinning and life just keeps on flying by........my world seems to sputter and comes to a halt at times while I try to process everything.

You touched a lot of hearts and lives during your time on this earth. There was a couple of guys on Facebook yesterday who lived in Susanville that shared stories and memories of you about how you touched and changed their lives, and the friendship that you gave to them. Their stories and memories brought you to life and made me smile; while also making me realize that those people, those stories are the very things that keep all the heartache from being in vain.

I love and miss you so very much. My life has always been Blessed by having the most awesome Family on the face of this earth. Thank you for always loving me.

Love always
your baby sister
