My sister was the most awesome sister anyone could\’ve ever had. I was the lucky one to have her as my protective big sister. She had a very attractive and charismatic personality that everyone who knew her loved. You couldn\’t help but love her. I will always remember everything she was for me and all that she did for me. I will miss her until my time comes when I get to see her again. My sister Kelly still and always will have all of my love. Remember her fondly.
I love you Kelly, and I miss you… I miss you more everyday. I miss your smile, your laughter, your presence and how you shine in so many ways. You left me a million memories, and those I will always treasure, and the pleasure was all mine. I wish I could say missing you gets easier, with each year, and the passing of time… But, it doesn’t, it does not, ever. There’s a sorrow that remains and out of that, an emptiness, an uncertainty left behind. For, only time will tell me, what I hope to someday know, that I’ll see you again in the end, and the pleasure will again, Be all mine. I love you Kel.
