I am at a loss for words I can't believe that you are gone. I do KNOW that there is another angel watching over us all, but that doesn't explain why you were taken so soon. You are your family have been in my thoughts and prayers every day since this happened. You touched so very many lives, you will always be remembered and NEVER forgotten. Prayers are continued to to, your family and friends. You are such a great good hearted person. We all will remember you for the GREAT person that you were. That will never change. RIP
