Rest peacefully, my dear sister and friend. Heaven gained an angel too soon. Your kindness was your legacy, and your love will never fade.”
In the caption, her sister expressed her grief: “You were so full of life, always making sure we were okay, always giving even when you didn’t have enough. Many people misunderstood you and even hated you because of what they heard, but they never knew you were an angel sent by God. I’m writing this with so much pain and tears in my eyes. God, why so soon? Rest in peace, my sweet little sister. I’ll love you forever.”
