My cousin Lisa was born while I was in junior high school. Every day I would stop on my way home from school to see her. She was absolutely the most beautiful baby I had ever seen and grew to be just as beautiful as an adult. As hard as it is to accept her passing at such a young age, I know that she is at peace now that her battle with diabetes is over, and I pray for her parents, sisters and of course her son Alex. Lisa will missed and always be remembered in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
