The best thing that ever happened to me was on September 29th, 1978. My little sister Amy joy was born.

I was in third grade and I got called down to the office and they told me I had a little sister now. I was as happy as a sister could be and so proud. She was the nicest baby and the sweetest child. She was fun to be around and even as a young person she was happy.

I miss her so much and I often think about her when she was younger, because when I was 16 I got married and moved away and oh how Amy cried and oh how she missed me and I missed her too. She wrote to me a lot but it was never the same as being with each other.

When she was 16 years old and I was 24 I moved back home and boy was she ever so happy we got to hang out and be sisters again and make up for all the lost time (8 yrs). My husband and me separated and I even got more time to spend with her it was great. She was a lot of help to me with my daughter Laura. Then she met him and I met my soon to be husband DJ and we got a little busy for each other but every chance we got we were together. We used to sneak out and go see slappin balls or fat stanley and have a great time together. Oh lord how I miss them days now. I wish I could turn back time and take things slower and enjoy them more.

On April 3rd 2001 I found out I was never gonna be with my sister Amy again cause her boyfriend took her from us. Yes he murdered her and now we have to wait till we die to see her. I wish I would have been there for her like she was there for me. To protect her like older sisters are supposed to do. She was so beautiful inside and out and she is terribly missed by all. Amy I miss you and love you so much and I hope you knew it. Well god is taking care of you now and that's better than any of us could have done. My life is not the same at all without her and will never be. She will be forever etched in my heart and someday when the lord is ready for me I will embrace her and she me.

I love you Amy Joy.......
