Two months have passed Gram and it still feels unreal. I visit you almost everyday. I miss you more than words can ever say. I love you.

Year 25 was not a very good year and year 26 is not a good year. I lost my twin sister and a good friend. We had our moments but I loved you, and always will. Love your sister, Eva

I thank you for everything you did for me. You guided me, taught me to be tough, protected me. Most of all you loved me endlessly. I miss you terribly but I carry your love everywhere I go.
