I miss you so much it physically hurts. You were so many things to so many people. Daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend. Your absence has felt every single moment of every day. I know it hurts this much because you were such an amazing person and because losing you is a tremendous loss for so many people. I love you now and always my sister cousin wife!
