It’s such an honor to be remembered as your sister. You were the best little sister anyone could ask for and I will never not be proud of who you became despite all you endured. I will remember how you were play fighting with Tyler and you accidentally busted his lip and you cried bc you were so upset at your self, I will remember how we used to hold each other tight when we were younger bc we knew we would be okay as long as we had each other, I will miss you everyday river jean I love you forever just like you wrote me that letter you love me forever I promise to carry you in my heart until my time goes but even after I go I promise your nieces and nephews will carry you.
