My heart is weighing so heavy for you. She will take a peice of my heart with her. I enjoyed watching her grow up to be who she is today from K1-5th at LCE. I'll always remember when she lost her first tooth as I was her K1 Aid and her lunch cashier at LCE. I will cherish all the days she spent coming to tell me stories while at lunch. She sure could brighten up a room with that BIG smile. God Bless!
