Hey Sis, I miss you and I think about you almost everyday. I listen to Sade's kiss of life all the time. For some reason it makes me think of you and Baltimore where our friendship began. I sure wish you were still here with us but you are safe and sound with Jesus. I love you sis and will never foget you.

You're Always on My Mind......... This past June marked 21 years since God called you home. It was three years ago I found out that my beautiful sister whom I searched for through the years had transitioned to a better place. Alisa not a day goes by that you are not somewhere in my subconscious. I just cant get you out of my mind. I yearn for a visit to Baltimore the city where we both met each other through our grandmothers. I still remember the sleepovers. I still remember the music we listened to and the talks we had. I remember our last phone conversation when I learned about your children decades ago. I wish I could see you and talk to you and tell you about mine. I wish we could share stories of how our lives were over the years. A part of me is satisfied in some sense that I get to see your family online through pictures and events that take place. I am so happy that I can send your mom and sister messages and your three beautiful daughters. Sis, there is so much that happens in life that is so unexplainable. I never question. I just know I miss my friend/sister and wish that we could have had some type of reconnection and closure before you went to be with Jesus but there are many we will reconnect with in Heaven one day I surely hope to. All it takes for you to come to mind is a song, perhaps a movie, the holidays, your children, memories and the happenings going on in Baltimore, etc. Just yesterday I found myself browsing street by street on google/maps in the city of Baltimore and each street I went through I wondered if it was a street you knew of or traveled upon one time or another. I even browsed the area you lived in on Oswego Ave. It is like a part of me is still in the city searching for the ones I loved and were a part of my life from the past. We don't really realize how fast time passes, how precious it is and the importance of staying connected to the ones we love because tomorrow is not promised. Sad thing is we can never go back in time and redo anything or relive any parts and we are left with these memories and feelings of what once was. I am trying to get to Baltimore so I can hug your mother, sister, granddaughters and your daughters. I just want to feel the part of you that is in them, it will be sorta like reconnecting to a spirit that I once loved in physical form and continue to love in spirit now that you are in another world than I am in. Your family is precious to me and many don't have a clue as to who I am. I never met them either but I have love for them. I am happy to see them and know they were a part of your life. They got to experience your beauty, personality and see you grow in life and experience things up close and personal. I know they miss you unmeasurably. I love and treasure each picture I see of you. The twins birthday passed back in July and this month is Sherrice's birthday. Alisa I hope you know that I am keeping in contact as much as I can with your babies now three beautiful grown women with children of their own now. Your new precious grandson is so adorable as well as Sherrice's two girls. This entry is helping me feel close to you because for all I know God might let your eyes see and read it and know how I feel about you, things I never got to say to you. Had you been found beforehand I know we would have had a continued place in each other' lives. Continue to enjoy heaven my sister. The world you once lived in physically has changed sooo much. Our time seems short and many more will be added to the count of Heaven in God's timing. What a reunion its going to be when loved ones get to meet back up with loved ones. I don't quite know who it all takes place but I believe in Heaven and that Father God is the Head of it all. I believe the scripture that reads He has prepared a place for the those who believe in him and that in his timing He will come get each of us to be where he is. Hope is real because Jesus is real and until it's our time we live with Faith knowing in our hearts that God's word is real and never comes back void. I am going to sign out of this entry know precious one and until the next entry I love you and always will. Hugs and Kisses, Sherri 

My beloved sister, I wonder if you knew that in my heart you always were. I wonder if you knew I never forgot that summer at my grandmothers house when we spent the better part of the day laughing, talking and listening to music. I wonder if you knew that I was trying so hard to find you because for some reason you stayed on my mind. I wondered how life was treating you and how the kids were. I can't think of Baltimore without thinking about you. I cant listen to certain songs and not think of you and the time I wish we had with you that I missed. It was not by choice that you didn't hear from me life just had us in two different places but I tried dear sister. You may have been out of sight but you were never out of mind. Time kept passing and little did I know you had already moved to the home that Jesus prepared for you, not in this world but in a better place so far beyond our comprehension. I wish I could still hear your laugh and your Baltimore accent that made your voice stand out from the rest. Sometimes I just close my eyes and listen in my mind to you talking. The last time I talked to you was when the twins were coming or when they were newborn because I will never forget you telling me their names. I remember other things we talked about too but I will keep that to myself. I loved those summers in Baltimore. I only wish I had lived there so I could have been closer to you. Although our friendship was brief it was memorable and will always hold a special place inside of me. People might not understand because people measure love by time. To me it does not matter that it was short, we bonded and some people never connect and have known each other for years. I don't believe in chance of happenstance. We met for a reason. We had time together for a reason. I held you in my heart and mind for a reason. I often wondered about you for a reason and dear sister I tried to find you and never gave up til I did only to find out that I would not be able to hear your voice and laugh and catch up but we will in Heaven. Don't ask me how I figure this. I just believe that someway, somehow we will reconnect with out loved ones so I hold on to that thought. Mother's Day is tomorrow and you are a mom of three beautiful daughters. I know they miss you and so does your mom and sister. I stay close by mom and it helps me keep you close, even when I look of Angie I think of you. I remember her being the younger sister with her accent just like yours. One day I am going to visit Baltimore and visit your resting place and we are going to have a talk and I will get to see an hug your beautiful girls and your mom. I pray it will be sometime soon, maybe this summer who knows. It is however God leads. Happy Mother's Day beloved sister and friend. You will be with me forever.
