You were my big sister. You treated me like I mattered in this world during a time when it felt like I did not. I learned SO much from you! All those nights you''d come over and you and Mom would talk...all the times you took me places with you and your friends. I babysat the girls throughout high school so you could work when Mike was stationed overseas. As I got older, your role in my brother''s life was significant and protective. I hope he has found you where you both are, and you''ve been reunited with your parents, Bonnie, Les, Greg. You ALL impacted my life in such good ways! But mostly you, Lisa. I love you always.
