My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion;
they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble.
Proverbs 3:21-23
Always in your heart. Picture me as I was, full of life and love. Although not with you now, I’m watching from above. I know how much you miss me, and I miss you too. It was my time to leave, as each of us will do. Although not in your arms, I’m always in your heart. The precious love we shared means we’re never far apart.
Love, Mom
To my brother,
We can’t choose our family members, as we go along life’s way. When it comes to who’s in our family tree- we just don’t have any say. But if the time ever came along, and it were possible to do, when I was picking out a brother, there is no doubt that I’d choose you.
Love,
Your big sister, Diamond
My brother,
A sentiment that needs expression more than any other is the warm appreciation that I feel for my brother. Having you as a brother, in a world that changes so fast, is one of the best parts of my present and past.
Love, Your little sister, Jazz
