I was truly shocked and saddened when I heard the news. I hear your voice and your laugh over and over. I am blessed that you were not only my teammate in school for over a year but my big sister and friend. Your smile and calm voice always made my day. Your hugs and positive energy got me through many situations. I remember the day you meet my baby. He loved on you and you did the same. Always sending him candy home by me. Lol.. I will always love and remember you..
