I can`t call my sister "Mary Idell", to me growing up she was always "tootsie".I can`t cry as I sit here writing this, because all of my memories of "tootsie" are all happy ones, special ones, and great ones. From riding around the back roads of NC, all of us in a station wagon, bluegrass music blaring through the NC mountains, as we rode around, and staying at each others houses, all of us together, and happy, no matter where we were. from there, as we got older, we drifted apart as families often do, and then, getting the call that "tootsie" is no longer with us, makes me sad, But I still have those fond memories that take me back, but as the song says, "Don`t ever miss the chance to say I Love You" because tomorrow may be too late, I love and miss you "tootsie, hope you enjoy your new glorified body that Jesus has waiting for you" Love your brother Jody
