My Dearest Sister Mahonyha,
It has taken me six months to find the words to express my sadness in losing you. It is only now that the dust has settled, that life has slowed down, that I allow myself to stop and realise that you have left this world and are now with me in spirit and no longer in body. Losing you has been the hardest thing that I have ever gone through. It has taken me on a rollercoaster that I never thought I would ride, and yet, after all of the twists and turns I feel I have learned so much from you and from losing you.There is no one in this world that I know that has as much courage, strength and determination as you. It is that fire and power in you that gives me strength everyday to move forward and live my life to the full.I am filled with happy, wonderful memories of my early childhood spent in the valley with you. You always looked out for me and I always loved to spend time with you. As I got older, we only became closer, eventhough I seemed to move further. All of these memories I will cherish forever.Many nights you walk and talk with me in my dreams, your face so real I could touch it. When I wake, you stay with me all day. Although knowing you are no longer here brings me much sadness, I take great comfort in knowing that you will be in my heart and my dreams forever. Your name on my foot is more than a symbol of remembrance. It is a part of you that will be a part of me forever. I miss you everyday, but know that you will walk with me forever my beautiful sister.
Forever loving you,
Katy

~MAHONYHA~
The dawn of the day was overcome with deep sadness and sorrow.
Your soul escapes the beauty of your body with softness and grace.
As the day awakens your gentle touch still whispers around with courage and trust.
Breezes of your sweet scent surrounds us with comfort and peace as we memorize your exquisiteness; still and silent.
With each rising morning and in the shadows of each evening, your precious soul is present and the essence of your strength fills all space.
With much love
Your sister, Molly

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon‐bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk‐white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk‐white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.
Shel Silverstein
And when she shall die, take her and cut her out in little stars, and she will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun...
(Romeo and Juliet III, ii, 21)
"I am with you still -- I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, When you awake in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. Do not think of me as gone -- I am with you still -- in each new dawn"

As you release this butterfly in honor of me,know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer,close your eyes and see me there.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,I'm right there with you more than you know.
