Today is May 15, 2024. When you were killed I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it. It’s ironic that I had a heart attack on May 15th of 2023…I am trying so hard to be strong and to be the voice that Gabby can turn to when she is in need. She has become an amazing mom. I don’t really get to see the other girls much. Just know that I love and miss you. Every day is hard-some more than others. I hope you see me from Heaven. Your sister, Antonia…
