I had a close relationship with my big sister, Colleen while growing up together. I marveled at the many talents and gifts of her selfless heart that she had and was always willing to take care of the needs of family and others. I remember the many good teaching experiences in receiving her wisdom and guidance in my life that I was grateful to have from a sister that cared enough to take the time to offer her help to uplift me when I needed it. I remember when Jana, her precious daughter was a toddler, the memories of how much I enjoyed babysitting and playing with her. It saddens me that my sister suffered before her passing. It brings peace to my grieving heart that she is in a better spiritual place and is no longer suffering, but rather has had a joyful reunion with many loved ones, welcoming her into their loving arms with a peaceful heart. If you are looking down from Heaven, my dear sister, know that while the years passed with changes that impacted our relationship, my respect and honor in having you as my big sister never changed and the same special love I had for you as my sister while growing up never left my heart over the years and the good memories we shared together will always have a place in my heart. Your sis, Amanda Frances Gooch
