I Got You My sister, my best friend, my girl. No matter where you are, just know that I got you. The secrets that I will never tell because I got you. Whenever there was a need, you didn’t hesitated to call because you have always known that I got you. I’ll miss the family gatherings at you house and t he birthday parties you made me have. You were right there to laugh at our inside jokes, to dance off beat with me and to love me unconditionally. Always on my side for me to lean over and whisper something funny to even when it was at an inappropriate time. The laughs we shared with each other will never be forgotten. Giving me hugs and kisses when I didn’t want them but miss them already. Don’t worry about a thing because I still got you. Alex, Alexa, Alijah and Anisytn will always be okay because I got you. Rest well my sister, my best friend, my girl. No matter where you are, remember, I got you because I know you got me too!!! YASSS HUNNI!!!!!!!

Sister To my big sister, Not a day will go by without me thinking of you. Your smile and the sound of your voice I will hold on to forever. One thing I always admired about you was that no matter what the circumstances were, you always made it work. The strength you had to deal with what the world gave you is something I pray I have inside me.
