Happy, Heavenly Birthday to my big sister!

I can only imagine how much she is enjoying her day!  Her love for life was contagious, and her love for people, knew no bounds, especially, her love for her family.  I know, without a doubt, that she would have done anything for me as long as it wasn’t illegal or immoral!

I miss her smile, her laugh and her hugs.  It was because of her enthusiasm for the little things in life, that I am reminded of her often.

This is just a short list of memories of an amazing lady, sister and friend!

• Temecula – our meeting place when the kids were small
• Dolphins – we watched them play in the ocean, she was amazed
• Artichokes – she found this strange thing to be fascinating, and insisted we try it
• Christmas – I think it was her favorite time of the year.  She loved making it special for others, not just herself
• Angels – every Christmas, she would make an ornament for me, it was always an angel
• Thanksgiving – she taught me how to make gravy
• “Nurse Jones” – together, we pulled my brother out of the dark side of the ICU room when he had a heart attack
• Sail boats – camping by the ocean, her favorite place to relax
• Chicken Apple Sausage – she introduced me to this – still one of my favorites

In memory of your special day.  In honor of you.

I love you Linda!
