  3. We remember the good times big sis. The visits to Genazzano, the many nights you would baby sit the girls, the long, meaningful and in depth phone chats. You were a gifted academic. But it is now time to let the angels take you for a ride in the sky. The pearly gates await you.
    Rest easy big sis.
