Rosa, Your time on Earth was not enough .. we still had so much to talk about .... I am so glad we reconnected and enjoyed our conversation on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. I'll always remember you called me "Sneaky" .. and how we laughed about many other things. I never wanted to cry when talking to you, as I wanted to keep your spirits uplifted. Crying came many, many times when we would hang up or finish with chatting on the net. You always laughing about your "ghost" phone when the words would type out something totally different than what you were voicing .. but I understood what you were saying. You worried more about others around you, then yourself .. I caught what you said to me that last night we talked . but you tried to cover it up and act like you were okay .. and I knew then, that your journey here, on Earth was going to end soon ... I remember all the fun things and times all of us, you, Joe, me got in trouble too. The one thing that has always stuck in my mind was mom telling us to share the record player and we each had to take turns playing the record of our choice .. and YOU ... ALWAYS choosing that song .. In A Gadda Da Vida / Iron Butterfly .. while my choices were about 2-3 minutes long .. your choice . and you kept putting that same song on ... was 17.02 minutes long .. my ears were bleeding .. Thank You for all of the good times and even the bad .. as that is how we learn in life. I really wanted to come up to Iowa, this year ..to see you .. and am very angry that your time was cut shorter than expected... but also grateful that you are no longer in pain .....Tell Dad, Mom and Joe hello from me ... Until we meet up again, someday .... Peace be with you, Sister .. Love and Hugs... may your angel help guide you through eternity ... Love you ... Kathy & John.💞🙏🏻💌
