Lil: I really enjoyed our talks and the memories we shared, especially after my beloved Eddie died. You brought me so much comfort at such a difficult time and I am so grateful. We were like sisters, we talked and laughed everyday, I know you are happy with Jesus. This is where we all want to be on day. Until we meet again, RIP my sister. I love you.
