**  Happy Birthday beautiful Simone Riddle. Thank you for being my sister, friend and so much more. Together we have shared life's laughter and love, life's sorrow and pain, we have survived our fights and bickering, confided and trusted in one another and built an unmovable love that will last a lifetime. You are an incredible, kind and intelligent woman, which is why so many people care and love you. Feliz cumple de Guatemala, wish I could be celebrating with you in New York!  ** "Sister, open your heart, fling your hopes high, and set your dreams aloft. I am here to hold your hand." Maya Angelou.
