The world has lost a soul but has gained a true angel.I am saddened to realize that god needed her more then us but i only hope he has the master plan for her. She will truly be missed.If anyone truly needed to be here for people it was her. I do not know the reasons but i only hope it is for a greater purpose then we could ever understand.

We will always love her ,please keep in your best graces. God you are in charge!!!!!
