Great memories of my big sister Tina, walking to Sherman Park Library with a stop at Burger King, home-made punch & with sherbert Ice Cream & soda, Monday afternoon lunch on 55th & Kedzie, Iced coffee, those mirrors and spider plants & mother in law plants, going downtown to shop on the bus and stopping for actual lunch in restaurant, Ford City lunch counter, getting lost every time I drove to birthday dinners, all day trips to the museum or the zoo, going to set up your classroom before the school year started, impromptu wine & pizza parties, school crafts, getting me hooked on Everybody Loves Raymond and the Monkees, Four Seasons, Beatles & all the other music influences...always the seat on the radiator in the kitchen. I will always treasure the memories & know you are giving Father an argument about Nixon & the war even now. Thank you for being my sister. I miss you and love you.
