She was a lovely little sister, born when I was 5, left this earth when I was 70. You don’t expect to outlive a younger sibling. Patsy had the sweetest heart of the four of us, quick to laugh, slow to disagree. Her life was filled with many tragedies, but she really did keep that same smile she showed as a very big(nearly 10 pounds) baby.
Thinking of you Sis. Loving you from this plane to the one you now joyfully inhabit.
A lovely tribute, Elizabeth, and sad to hear of your loss

A beautiful and loving tribute indeed. I lost my younger (by 8 years) sister, and only sibling, almost a decade ago. Sadness envelopes me every time I think of her.

What a lovely tribute to your sister! All the photos are wonderful. I especially liked the one of you holding her when she was an infant. You both were so adorable.

Thanks. I look so little and she was so big already. She ended up a head taller than me as an adult.

Yes. I miss her frequently, especially on her birthday. I used to shop all year for just the right little gifts for her to enjoy.

Lovely photographs. I lost my younger brother too, he was 36. I struggle to believe that I’m the only one now left from my childhood home.
