Not at least in Argentina. There "gringo" is used for any foreigner.
I think so too, Sam, the Yo is perfectly justified here 
How do I say that "I miss my costa rica sisters very much also"
[Yo] También extraño mucho a mis hermanas costarriqueñas
(the 'yo' is optional; I think it sounds better with it but I'm always afraid of the no-personal-pronouns nazis around
(edit: added a missing 'a', although Eddy beat me to it)
I think that the "También" gets you off of the hook. It is, by itself, an indication that you are contrasting your own feelings with the feelings of others; so that the explicit "yo" is justified.

Thank you all for responding. I am new to the Spanish language and I am trying to learn. I took french in college and high school and french was a struggle for me. How do I say that "I miss my costa rica sisters very much also"

It's the same in Brazil (to us, even Argentinos are gringos), but I thought this usage was specific to Portuguese.
Speaking of Argentinians, is it true that they refer to Spaniards as gallegos'
jingoism-where did the American enter into the picture? Is that tobacco that you two are smoking?
Hey, hey!! 
Yo no fumo, ni esto ni nada de nada.... 
My understanding is that "gringo" means "American". It used to be derogatory but since Americans themselves embraced the term (it's very common among expatriates), it seems to have lost its derogatory undertone.
Pues sí, en España lo consideramos americano, gringo de toda la vida, jeje
I'm aware of the derogatory use when used with Americans similar to some uses of Yankee, but I thought the term was more generic and just meant "foreigner".
I am surprised by Guille's post, I did not know that.
In Spain generic terms for foreigners are: guiri, chan, forastero

Over here we would translate that as:
We miss our** American ****[del]friend[/del]** sister a lot.
Heidita has not been in her top form recently. Too much work shuffling threads around, I suppose.

HI JInx, welcome to the forum.
Over here we would translate that as:
We miss our American friend a lot.
gringo can be derrogatory if said the wrong way, however, I feel that here it is a friendly word.
Please look at the change of title.Put your question directly into the title.
Extrañamos mucho a nuestra hermana [del]gringa[/del] extranjera.
means,we miss our overseas sister very much.
But usually using "extranjero" express overseas.in your sentense is gringa!
