I feel real sad when I see this picture of you. You wanted love so-o-o bad and never felt you got it. You wanted people to know you were a good person (and you were) BUT you never felt people thought you were good. I saw you do so many, many things. All the time you were saying, 'see I am good, I am good'. That is a sad life to live and you lived it to the helt. Like I said, 'I look at your picture and I feel sad.' Your sister, Faye
