Words couldn't express how I feel, and how I felt about JJ. I met her 7 years ago this week, and in a way she was one of the most influential people in my life. She was so strong, brave, and beautiful, and although the sun set on her, she'll always live on in our memories. From trips to NYC to see the tree with my mom, to something as simple as watching TV with her in my living room. Her favorite songs and wax candy. There won't be a day that goes by that she won't be missed. She's somewhere smiling down on us, and I know she feels better. She won't have to hurt anymore. I miss her already.
To Ethel and the rest of the family, I love you all.
Love, Samantha
