John,
You will always be my best friend! I will forever be your little sister and you will forever be my big brother! This past week has been a tough one and I will continue forward because I know you would want me to do just that, I can hear you saying, “It’ll be ok kid” and you need to be strong for my special great niece Holly. Not a single day has gone by that I haven’t thought of you. I am forever grateful for our everyday conversations we had! You had such a great talent for drawing and I will cherish the drawing you drew for me just days before God called you home. Brother, you are so very missed, I love you so much! Til we see each other again!
Love your little Sister Forever
-Cindy
