Sister you did something to my soul the day you was called home.
I still find myself getting up in the middle of the night to check on you, your
room the first thing I run into when I come through the door.
I know we didn't see eye to eye half the time like I told you it was for your own
good. I'm so glad that I was allowed to spend these last few months with you
Kenya I love you and you will forever be my Tweety bird and sunshine.
~Love your Big Sister Mama, Tracy
I will forever love and miss you sister just catch up with
our sister she will keep you busy
until we meet again.
~Love your Brother, Marcus

Sister words can't explain how unbelievable this feels not having you here just
doesn’t seem real Sister why would you go away when I still have so much to
say. In just two days we will be celebrating your birthday I just asked you what
did you want for your birthday and you said "Surprise me" So why did you
leave. I can't even hold my emotions together. You really are going away forever.
I have so many memories with you, the good, bad and crazy.
That it makes me smile because you was all in one lil lady. I know you will want
for me to be strong but I will give anything to hear you sing any Keyshia Cole
song. Sister I will always love you and I miss you dearly.
It was the day I got that call that help me see clearly. You was the sister who
had no problem putting me in check so it hurts even
worse that I have to put you to rest.
But I smile at the thought of you at peace knowing
you will forever be even closer to me.
Sister I love you and this is not the end.
So until we meet again
