Just know I love you so much and you’ll always be my lil baby sister; you were my best friend, and we always were so close. I dunno how I’m gonna deal with this. I’m so sorry I spent years in jail and didn’t spend much time together before this accident. I can’t even comprehend how I feel … till we meet again, sis. gonna miss you so much!”
We pray for Izzy’s family in these testing times.
