I've not been in the family long but she made me feel very welcome and loved from the first time I met her, even though I was scared out of my mind that she wouldn't like me. I wish I would have had the chance to spend more time with her. She was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. God be with the rest of my family in this time of mourning. I'm praying for everyone.
