Dear Sissy, What can I say, you were the best big sister ever! I’ll always treasure the memories I had with you. When I was 5 years old you took me to go see Santa Claus ? at Macy’s downtown Kansas City. You made sure I looked my best and bought me a red coat with pretty red socks to match. I still have my thumbelina doll you gave me and when she needed a new outfit you had someone make it for me. I’ll always treasure the times as a young girl spending the night with you at your place and often going to see a scary movie at the drive-in. I don’t think you really ever knew how beautiful you were inside and out! You were gorgeous with you beautiful dark hair, big brown eyes, long slender fingers and silky olive skin. More importantly you had a kind and gentle heart, but when needed you would stand up to anyone to protect your family. You loved buying gifts for people, especially jewelry, you loved buying jewelry. ??. You will be so missed, but I’m am given comfort knowing that you are with the Lord now, reunited with Mom, Dad, Danny, Grandpa and Grandma Cunningham and all of our other loved ones that went on before. Sending all my love to you. Love your little Sis, Veronica ?
She was a wonderful woman with the kindest heart! She’d do anything for her family including friends! She will definitely be missed! Love you Bobbie! Fly high!! ????
