My dearest and beautiful sister Nette, the eldest girl of our parent’s children…Nette you and I shared some of the funniest and sweetest memories from us as little girls, our teenage years, us being mothers, to us living in Germany together, and you and I laughing as you had me to play softball for the navy team that year…so many memories as sisters and friends…I will miss our many conversations, I will miss you saying “Meryl what you think? Knowing you always will do what it is you want to do…I am and have always been so proud of all you were…of all you have done and not a day passed that you weren’t here in my heart…my big sister, I know God has you safe in His arms where you have joined our parents, sisters, and brothers…and seeing Danny again…through God we live forever and I will miss you for all of eternity and I will love you forevermore.
