I have a sister that has been a lifesaver for me over and over. 

Through the past  ten years our family (5 siblings) has been through some tough times with family relationships.  Like most every family we all had our little feuds but this particular disagreement involved  "whole family against one".  That one person, was me.  Without going into why everyone was against me, there was one person that stood up for me over and over.  That one person was my sister, Jolie Tinsman.  Thank God for her.  Jolie risked her relationship with our mother and the other siblings because she was standing-up for me.  This made every holiday difficult because of the discord. 

Amongst all the discord, we found out that my mother had cancer and had a very short time to live.  You might be thinking, oh! I bet that stopped the fighting.  Unfortunately, that did not happen.  As a matter of fact it got worse.  Now the siblings and others were trying to keep me from being with my mother for her last days.  I was beside myself  with grief.  I really felt like I had no voice because the others had made up their minds that I was guilty for things I was supposed to have done.  As a matter of fact, noone came to me and said: "I heard this or that".  I was just ostrasized. I had no idea why.  Through the whole ordeal Jolie was always there defending me.  

Once my mother passed away things got even worse.  Our family ended up filing a lawsuit over my mother's will and that lasted for months.  Again, Jolie was always there for me, defending me.  Had it not been for Jolie I would never have received any of the precious items that my mother wanted me to have.  At the height of the feuding one of my brothers finally realized that he wanted his family back so we had the chance to sit down and find out what all the feuding was about.  As it turned out, the truth was revealed and our family is basicly back in tact.  With the exception of one sister.

Jolie is there for me through the good, the bad and the ugly.  I am so grateful to have a loyal sister like her.  I just want everyone to know how much I love her.
