    You were the first the leader of the Giant pack, you were my sister but you were also a wife and the oldest sister to all of the pack and mother and grandmother, an aunt and a friend to many. So hard to think that you are gone, so unimaginable. The world did not prepare me for your loss my sister my friend. I will forever keep your memories in my heart. You always had a wild spirit about you. I have never know someone to always come out on top when the world keep throwing obstacles your way, but you always found a way to overcome. You are very missed and I hope you know how much you are loved we will never forget you. I hope your dancing in the sky. I hope the angels know what they have, a song that has new meaning to me and a reminder of you. Love your sister.
