My "Sister Girl" was the best friend a person could ever have. She had a heart of gold. She was one of the hardest working people I knew. She and I worked together at Kroger. She and I would go in there and she would walk by a shelf and front it or put something where it was supposed to be if it had been left by a customer. I would tell her you are off, why are you doing that? She would say " you know me". I did, I knew one of the kindest most caring people you could ever meet. I miss her terribly. Till I see you again in heaven Sister Girl you live forever in my heart.
