My Beautiful Sister. I will miss your jokes. I will miss your laugh. I will miss your smile. I will miss you advice. I will miss you childishness. I will miss your drama. I will miss when you make me food because I'm lazy. I will miss going to the trails with you. I will miss when you put your cold feet on my legs. I will miss when you scream because there is a bug in your room. I will miss when you ask me to go on drives with you. I will miss the smell of your perfume. I will miss when you text me and I see your name show up on my phone screen. I will miss when you come home and walk up the stairs, your high heels clacking on the wood floor. I will miss when you're cleaning your room and all I hear is Lana Del Rey blasting on your speakers. I will miss everything about you. I wish you could have lived your dreams. Our family will never be the same. But we are so lucky to have known you.

To our sweetest Dana, so many unanswered questions, but never ever question about the love we had (and still have) for you. We thank you for gracing us on this earthly life for the last 23 years....and know that we will meet again in glorious Heaven. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. Broken as we may be, we will give You every piece. One day, we will be whole again.

Our last conversation in person was no different to a usual chat with you. You started off so sweetly, asking me about my career in IT and showing such interest in the IT convention that I was attending at the time. You then said - ” So Ryan! Seeing that you are so much into IT, how much you think I can get my iPhone sold for?” And you asked this with the most mischievous smile on your face. I remember thinking, all that “butter up” about my career, just to ask about the phone lol. Just Kidding, I know you were actually interested in my career 😊
