IN MEMORY OF MY IDENTICAL TWIN

     October 16, 2008 changed my life forever. This was the day that my twin sister passed on shortly before midday.  My mom, two brothers and myself will always remember the wonderful times we had with Janine.

                                             Our thoughts are ever with you
                                             Though you have passed away.
                                             And those who loved you dearly
                                             Are thinking of you today.
                                               
                                                  Your life was a blessing
                                                  your memory a treasure...
                                                  You are loved beyond words
                                                  and missed beyond measure...
                                                  
                                            
                                              Those we love don't go away
                                              They walk beside us every day
                                              Unseen, unheard, but always near
                                              Still loved, still missed and very dear.
