7. I think you told us more about her and about you than you may have realized

the loss of someone close forever changes people. More importantly, it's the memories shared and the bonds formed as a result of those memories. Those are forever and unending.

You were as close to her as she was to you. That will never change. You may not get the chance to hear her voice on the phone, but you should never stop talking to her. She knows you and knows what to say even if the words don't come from her lips.
