When I lost your sister Melanie I didn't think I could ever have a pain as great as I did when I lost her.

Now God has called you home. I never thought I would lose you too, the pain that's in my heart is unbearable. I wake in the morning and think I need to call you to see how you are feeling today and then I remember you have gone home to your Heavenly Father, that you aren't still here with us. This last year spending so much time together in your new home is something I will always treasure. The many talks we had on your back patio, the compassion and love you showed me was awesome. Praying over me with Aunt Lou and April before they operated on me even though you were in such great pain yourself.

Through all of the suffering and constant pain you went through the last two years that you were here with us, I know was so unbearable for you. Yet through it all you still kept your faith and your love for our heavenly father.

You have left a emptiness in all of us that cannot be filled. You had such compassion, strength of character and such great great love for all of God's creations. I know our heavenly father welcomed you home with his arms open wide to embrace you.

I know you are in Paradise with your sister Melanie and the rest of our family.   How I wish I could be there with all of you. One of these days I know God is going to make it possible. Until that day I will think of you every day as I do Melanie and will wait impatiently to be with you again.
