I love you and greatly miss you. You have not only been my sister but my best friend. I've always needed you. You have been my rock and given me strength when things have been really hard or just needed to talk. I miss you terribly and until we are together again, may God bless you and keep you. Love Yogi

Kuma Ruza, One of my fondest memories is of us as carefree children swimming in a 2 foot blow up pool. Those days are long gone but not that memory. Though you leave us now, you will never be forgotten. God bless you and your loving family. Kuma Radmila
