"Almost 3 months and I still can't believe you're gone.
Happy Birthday, Lori. I'm wishing you were here and that I could have another chance to make it a special day for you. I wish I could do them all over again to make sure you felt special and loved. Not just on your Birthday but everyday.
I miss you so much it hurts. I wish I could send you a silly cat E card today like I used to.
So instead, I'll just write it here and hope there's some way you can see it.
We love and miss you. Dad was talking about your Birthday last night and got choked up.
You'll never be forgotten.
Happy Birthday
Love, Lisa & Dad"

"I just don't have the words yet. I'm sure I'll find them in the coming days and weeks maybe. Some will be just between you and I. I hope everything today was how you wanted it. I tried very hard to follow it. Hearing your co workers talk about you and paint such a clear and vivid picture of your kind, gentle and funny personality helped. I told the Priest I wanted to speak but we both knew, I just couldn't and I know you would understand.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I'm trying my best. I know Mazie is safely with you so no need to worry about her. I made sure to get you a spot under a tree.
You were right, Salve has been very kind amd helpful to me during this time and I will forever be grateful for it.
I love and miss you so much.
Love
Your Sister, "Lee"
Xoxo"
