@Baker, I’m so sorry this has happened to you and your family. Cancer indeed sucks.

It did, though.

And your sister’s life most certainly happened. What she did, and the connections she made, and the love that existed – all of that still exists, and will do so.

Hold on to your family, and your friends.

We’re here for you at any time.

She lives on through her organ donation. Good thing she let you know she would be willing to do that ahead of time.

I’m sorry for your loss **Baker**

After a death in our family, we read who signed the guest book. There was one name we could never figure out who it was; our family, in a moment of dark humor decided they were a Professional Funeral Goer.
