My dearest friend in the world! Sissy was my childhood friend from our meeting at 7 years old and from then on it was true friendship. We suffered through so much and were always there for each other, even if we hadn’t talked in a year or two. My heart breaks because I only found out about her passing at 2:45 yesterday. I would have been there for her then but I know she was well loved and well attended. Rest easy my friend. We shall be together one day soon.
