Sisters

Sisters are a blessing

sent from Heaven up above

A blessing like no other

filled with so much love

Not everyone is blessed

with a sister its true

But those who are blessed

thank God  thru and thru..

When Sisters share secrets

some good and some sad

You can never forget her

A bond is formed and your glad

Sisters confide in, learn from,

depend on & share

  I grew into the person I am,

  because Sis, you were there.

I thank God that you were my Sister

That we shared the years we had.

We shared a special sisterly love,

Such sweet memories and fun we had,

Missing you, Im  forever sad.

I think of my you sis, with love and respect

and I miss you so much

27 long years since God called you home,

This is my way of showing you sis,

  I still Love you so

My beautiful sister was beautiful on the inside just as she was on the outside. We were very close and it was very hard to accept the fact she left this earth so early, she was just 46 years old. I miss her so much. I can visualize her with my four little ones in Heaven. My mother  too, I am sure it is so wonderful for them all. I am content to know my mother is enjoying being their grandmother. And Sis I see you with the angels all around you, as you were an angel in life.  Betty you were the best Sister I could have hoped for and I miss you so very much. I still think back of all the fun we had.  How I looked up to you and how I still do. For I know you are watching over me still...I thank God for giving me you for a sister.  You were the best !

Betty, my sister was six  years older than I and I am sure I was a real pest when I was young,  but by the time I was twelve we were the best of friends. When I grew up,  we talked almost every day on the phone. We got together often and had great times togther.. God called her home when she was just 46 years old.  I loved her very much and miss her....
