I've struggled a little to find the words since Terry passed on the news of Sine's passing. So I took some time to reflect on our long history (life-long history, actually) and that helped a lot. When you meet someone at the age of 5 and stay in touch with them throughout your lifetime, that's more than friendship, that's family. Thomasine & the rest of the Jackson family have been a major part of my life since 1969. When I think of Sine, I think of her always smiling or laughing and blinking those eyes of hers. To me, Sine was always easy-going, very pleasant, and sweet. Our lives were better because we were blessed with her presence and her love. Though there were gaps in us being in each other's lives, this life-long family connection has always been strong & tucked away deeply in my heart. I know that my heart aches at the thought of her no longer being with us. I have very fond memories and will hold on to those. The strength and forever positive attitude she maintained during her illness should inspire us all at how we should choose our daily walk while on this earth-Sine showed us. She will be missed but we now have a Ms Eleanor-look-a-like, eye-blinking, sweet angel watching over us (LOL). Rest well Sine. You fought a good fight with such dignity and grace, but it's now time to rest. Love you. :hearts: Family you're in my prayers, always.
