Born in Lapote Indiana on a wintery dfreezing day on 11-28-1967, was such a joy not only for Mom and Dad, but for me it was not only a new sister but someone who would be my playmate and best friend for what I thought would be forever.

  You were silly, full of laughter and such a joy. We were always there for during childhood and into pur adult lives.

   You had for first child 3 yes after I had mine and together we welcomed Timothy who would become my Benjamin's shadow. Your second would 3 hrs follow my second, I was also there as you brought Jessica into the world, she would become my Rachel's shadow. Our children were like you and I best friends and in some way we were Mom's to each one.

    We fought many battles Star, sickness seem to lurk everywhere. We stayed strong and you fought the ultimate battle.

    You were not just my sister but the greatest and best friend a sister could ever ask for. 

   We promised to grow old together and sit by the ocean as our hair turned to gray but God decided he needed you more and took you away. I know now your in Heaven looking down upon us all, and someday when my time is over here and the Lord calls me home, I know you'll be waiting and then we will carry on.

    I miss you Star, your Sister Sledge
