  5. We really made some good memories with Mum and Sharon on our Pizza outings, and you and I trying to find a place to get Onion Soup for lunch. I am going to miss you, But I know you are in a much better place. You always made me feel right at home when I stay there to spend time with Mum. Everyone should be as lucky as I was to have a Sister like you.

I remember spending weekends at the Eatons and Carole playing Somewhere My Love on the piano. She will be greatly missed. Please know we are here for you all.
