I love u Lisa, and I miss your loving hugs; my love for u will never run out. I miss u soo much & everyone else who mattered most to you. As u know, I and others think that you look soo much like Halle Berry, because it's true. Looking at movies or magazines with her in them makes me extremely sad sometimes, because she looks soo much like you, and it hurts because it's not you, but she looks just like you. You & Halle Berry look like identical twins to me, and that's why it's so hard for me to sometimes watch movies or look at things with her face on it; it hurts to badly. It's still not fair to me that you're gone, but life isn't fair, and I hate that. I wish everyday that you never died, but people can not have everything that they want plus life is full of disappointments, and I've really accepted that now, even though it took me awhile. Lisa, you were 1 in a million; you were beautiful on the inside, and most definately on the outside. I love you soo much Lisa, & I can't wait to be in that better place (heaven) with you, so that I can see that beautiful being (spirit) that you are, and so that I will not hurt anymore, and so that I can smile more like I used to and really mean it. Me smiling more and feeling better about myself and about certain situations is all because of you (The most Godly positive being I was so grateful to have known & to have as an Aunt). I love you, & I really hope that somehow u can read every1's thoughts or feelings that they write on this website to show u how much that we really do love & care about u. I really believe deep down in my heart that you are reading these memories or feelings of your family & friends in the spirit, and if so, that makes me feel much better about you not being here.
Hey, baby sis! Saw your youngest niece off to FVSU today. Wish you could have been there to share in the moment. I feel so HAPPY, though a bit sad, but overall just PROUD!!! Your baby girl, Jelisa, was there, and so was Mom, me, Robbie & Necotia. I feel truly blessed, sis, and the family all seem to be supportive. Oh, & by the way...I made certain to give your niece your most famous hug during our departure from her. You know the one where you would hug people for a long period of time, and just rock side-to-side (LOL). And when I did it...I whispered in her ear to imagine that it was really you. You are always here in spirit, sis, & I find it just amazing to how much I can still feel your love and presence...and until we see each other again...know that I'll be keeping you alive in spirit over this way.
XOXO,
Tinee
Lisa, yesterday was four years ago since I last saw your face in person. It has been a hard pill to swallow just knowing that I won't be able to get that moment back, but I wiil always cherish that moment and all the other moments we have spent together as sisters and as a family for the rest of my life. I miss you baby girl, and you will always and forever be loved.
thinking of you,
love Big sis,
Charlotte
