Goodbye my BFF who in life was like a sister to me. We ate dirt on the ranch together as toddlers, we had measles at 9 years old together, we had our first apartment together where we got busted with beer by both parents, I was your maid of honor at your wedding, we had our first children at the same age, you liked opera and I liked Jazz we both like to sing. You lived your dream with your little mini horses. You even had a horse you called Rosie. Your pups that you loved so. Your children and grandchildren you were a wonderful grandma. A good sister. You were a kind soul. This world is going to miss you. My only consolation is that we will see each other again in heaven my BFF. Now you are with your mom and dad and your godparents my mom and dad. Rejoice. XOXOXO
I love you Aunt 🌹
