It is a very unfortunate incident that you have lost your sister recently in an accident. I got shocked when I got this news as I have talked with her on telephone 2 days before and she was sounding very happy. I can understand your situation as sister has very special place in life.

I remember the childhood days when we used to play with each other. She was really very cute but after school, unfortunately I never got chance to meet her. This time I promised to meet her when I will come to India but meeting with her was not in my destiny.

Please tell me if you want any kind of help. I will be very pleased to help you in this situation.
