My sister Sarah; I will truly miss you. You raised up my personal body guard...your son Vincent. When we started kindergarten you would tell him... you better not let anything happen to my sister. At the age of 62, he still covers and protects me. Sarah and I NEVER had a disagreement or falling out of any kind. Your presence will be missed, but I have so many beautiful memories or you to hold on to. Love your little sister Yolanda aka Land πŸ’”
