    I have been friends with Sissy/Donna since I was 9 years old her brother was my first love and my brother married her sister so I’m not technically family but don’t say that cause I am I can’t find the words to describe what I feel or to tell her how much I love her and how she will be missed but thankfully as long as she has been in my life I have so many memories that will always be with me and she will be in my heart forever I love u beyond infinity girl
