It's still unbelievable to me that my baby sister isn't sitting in my passenger seat singing and laughing with me. Her bright and beautiful personality was my twin. Veronica has the most vibrant and beautiful smile one can ever lay eyes on. Radiant at it's up most best. Her huge heart was over flowing with so much love. I was one of the lucky ones to feel and have her love. Being with her was just absolutely intoxicating, an addiction of pure happiness. Her laugh was one of those laughs that when u heard it you couldn't help but to chuckle as u did u could just feel your heart fill up just Lil more. Veronica loved so hard. She adored her Mother and father so much, she always tried her best to show them appreciation. Being a little sister to her brother wasn't always easy for her; Robert was tough on her. He had to be being from South Central. Her little body carrying the world on her shoulders. She had so much greatness in her, I doubt that she knew it. She was too humble. But a firecracker and I absolutely loved it. I loved her so much for everything that she did, went through. I admired her. I always tried for her. No matter the time. She brought every good out of me. Every passion. Every heart felt laugh. She was my everything. Veronica to me is EVERYTHING.
