Communication creates cohesion and trust “Good talk” is a core to good mental health and sisterhood provides that environment. Seeing the headline “having a sister makes you happier,” we decided we needed MORE sisters.

Happy Birthday, Sheryl
My late brother, JD, left behind a woman who was devoted to him-as he was to her. Sheryl is more to us than "our brother's wife." Through the years we just dropped the "in-law" and just claim her as our sissy. The best to you, Sheryl,as you mark the...
