I would like to know the proper way to say "in loving memory of my sister"
So far I think it is "in amatum consanguineus memoriam"
thanks

The one you have is no good. "Consanguineus" is a male word for someone related by blood as opposed to marriage or adoption, and it's the male form, "amatum" is the wrong form to go with anything, and that's only the start...
" In memoriam amantem sororis meae" is a literal translation of your English words.

If I were you, I'd contact either the Classics department of a college or university, or professional engravers. My halfway educated guess is:
In memoriam carissimae sororis
(In memory of my dearest sister)

In memoria sororis carae meae.
This actually means: in memory of my dear sister, as I think it's the person, not the memory which is the subject of affection.

"Scriptor" is sweet: "without love we perish." To be honest, i'm now uncertain approximately yours. in spite of the fact that "love" nonetheless would desire to be interior the ablative (of separation, i assume): "Absque amore pereamus." finding "absque amore" online, it does not look love it might want for use contained in the context you prefer to have. Lewis & short says that "absque" way "sine" best in pre- and placed up-classical Latin. In classical, it "denotes illness in thought, even through fact the class. 'sine' shows illness unquestionably." It sounds on the factor of conditional: if not for; if it weren't for.
