My dearest sister-in-law SAVANNA. I love you. We've had our good and bad times, but I never stopped loving or caring about you. When I meet your family in 1994 my life completely changed, you were all so loving and affectionate with one another. I thank you for being the most amazing "NINA" to my kids. YOU KNOW THEY LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I promise to never let them forget you; please continue to be their “Nina Angel”. I promise to take care of your parents and brother. UNTIL WE MET AGAIN YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART AND HOME.I love you always. Jennifer.
