Enya was such a bright soul who really touched every person she met. She was so kind and caring and there for everyone and though I only got to see her a few times due to our distance I loved every chance I got to spend with her. She was someone I feel blessed to have known in my life and who I'll always treasure those moments together in person and talking together online with. My condolences to her family.
