My little sister Janice, I remember how delicate and pretty you were as a child and young lady.I remember your laughter and giggles when you would play tricks on me. I remember teaching you how to ride your first bicycle and how proud you were when you mastered it. Yes you were a very generous and happy person willing to help anyone in need and I shall never forget how kind you were. We may have drifted apart as adults but I shall never forget our childhood together. Love, your big brother Tom
