You wrote a beautiful obituary, and have a beautiful daughter. Although this is a terrible time for you, I hope somehow you find peace. Your daughter touched many, even some that didn't know her. You should be proud of her accomplishments and just know that she will not be forgotten. It's so upsetting to hear of such a terrible loss.

Dear Calmar family,
i played lacrosse with Izzy when she was little. she was a great girl and we all loved her. Although, we went our separate ways and lost touch with each other over the years. Last time i saw her was playing stonington lax. She will always be in my heart and in my game. I wish we never lost touch. I can't believe that we will all say goodbye to you for good tomorrow. Rest in Peace Izzy.
