"I will always miss my dear sister. And though you were so far away, I loved the times we could just talk on the phone. It made my day! And I still have your cards and letters that Iris has kept for me. Your photo you sent sits on my night table. So does your candle. And I thank God for you every day. I will miss you. God Bless You - Your sister Elizabeth."
