Dear Alleta,
It's hard to believe that it's been ten years--Since I saw your smile, since I heard your voice. Seems just last week when we were laughing uncontrollably on our back deck, and saying hi to the boys on the strip.
You would've turned thirty this year...hard to believe. I always think of you as that carefree teenager I first saw dancing to the oldies, and coloring in the car on our way to Florida. It would have been nice to know you as an adult...I often wonder what you would think if you could see my life now.
Most of all, I wish I had the chance to know you as a child of God. I always like to think that you would encourage me to walk by faith and not take things too seriously...that much you taught me even in the last few months of your life.
I miss you. I miss having a sister. I was thinking today of what you must be doing now. I know you're beautiful once again, and probably get into mischief even in paradise. And I know you're dancing. Dancing before the One who must still have some work for me to do here.
Save me a dance, Alley. I love you.

Hollyberry- Wow! has it really been that long? Just wanted you to know that I love you:)
Ah, Holly ... time is an amazing thing, isn't it? I'm sorry I didn't read this sooner -- wish I could give you a hug in general; more so after reading this ... I hope you're doing alright ... I miss you and love you, girl.
