Her vivacious personality and magnetic smile captivated everyone she met. She made the most of every opportunity to dance, hold a loved one’s hand, and to tell others she loved them. In a world filled with challenges, she always spoke of forgiveness and offered kind words of support when they were much needed. The love for her family and friends was always evident through her words and actions. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. “How lucky were to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” WTP
