"I'm Marcie's baby sister. She was a rock in my life so many times, helping me through some tough spots. I looked at the picture that Shirley uploaded, and I cried. I see how my big sister has both of her hands wrapped around my shoulders. She was a special special lady. I've missed so many things from her for such a long time now. But she was still "there," and I could still call her to tell her that I loved her. And I can still hear her voice saying, "I love you too, little sister." I'll miss that voice, that laugh, and that strength that radiated from her. Rest in peace, big sister! Say hello to Mom and Dad for me!"
