Dearest Carol, You were a wonderful sister. You taught me so much. You were so talented and creative. I will always remember you when I design flowers and use my talents you taught me.
Thank you for raising me when i was a little girl. I have lots of memories of you combing and braiding my hair, and taking me for rides, and going to work together at the florist. I will miss you greatly.
Love Conn
