My Big Sister
My dear Sis:
My heart broke when you left us--it is still hard to believe. I can't explain how much I love you--the special bond with my sis can never be taken away. Lynne--everyone loved you so much. You were the kind of person that everyone just wanted to hang out with. I miss our phone conversations and your cards you would send--you were always so good about sending your loving and funny cards, sometimes with little surprises of confetti inside. You never complained but endured with grace, always keeping your wonderful sense of humor and thinking of other people's welfare.
Last year in 2011, I received a Valentine from Lynne. She had just had chemo the day before. She sent a card with a heart shape on the cover. The heart had a face and a hand waving with a big smile. Inside it said,"Hope your day begins with grins and is fun till it's done!". Her personal note below this said-- "Somehow, this message is way over the top!" I laughed so. It was her kind of sense of humor.
This year in Febr 2012, she sent a Valentine card with a picture of an amarylis I had sent at Christmas. The picture showed it in full bloom- and she said "it is abour 2 &1/2 ft tall--big enough for its own zip code-Ha!" She went on to say she was making sweet & sour pork & pork fried rice for Bob's birthday dinner.
I am so thankful for having my big sister. There is never enough time to spend with your sister but the times that we did spend together will always be special with wonderful memories. She was always there for me. I grieve and I grieve for all her wonderful family-husband, children and grandchildren and everyone else.
The one thing that stands out about my sister is her love for her family. She always was talking about the latest news and what was going on, her love for Bob, Troy, Dawn, Darin and all her grandchildren. She was so proud of each and everyone of them.
Till we meet again-Love, sis
