My dear silly goofy intelligent, sister Cynthia Margaret Jane, What am i to do with you not here. I’ve spoken to you every time a thought or memory pops in my head. My tears flow freely down my cheeks and then a awful cry screams out. I know I can pray and wish for you back but that doesn’t work. It’s been proven cause our Mama hasn’t returned. Cindy I wish I had been around you more often . Please know I truly love you and will never forget my Me Too pal. Everywhere I went as kids cindy would say….Me Too Me Too until she got to go. Well Me Too hold and kiss our Mama and Daddy cause you’re the first to arrive in Heaven where they are. Missing you always. Nancy
