I’m going to miss the mix up when I would answer the phone when your friends would call and think it was you, but it was me. You were such a sweet girl who always thought about our little family here. Oh my beautiful baby girl…Fly high like a beautiful butterfly, soaring in the sky…It hurts losing you. I always thought I would be the one going but I know Tunkasila only takes the best. So don’t be afraid, stay on the Red road and follow the light. Oh my beautiful baby girl, mommy and sissy and all of your family loves you. Rest in Peace Baby Girl. Your journey is beginning.
