The news of Sisi's sudden passing hit hard, thinking of the last time I saw and spoke with her, some time ago. Any time you see her, she had that same , childlike smile, yes just the same sweet, lovely person, we grew up with back in the 15th ward. Bless you Sisi, have your sweet rest in the Lord.
Family take strength in God, who loves her more.
