Savannah you were took from us all way before your time along with too many others. You were always such a happy and outgoing girl and watching you grow into the beautiful woman you became. You now have your own family and your not the little girl i always remeber you as . Our family will eventually heal from this but it is a wound that will forever tear at us. The world is a little darker now that your light has gone out ....you will never be forgetten and will forever be in our hearts...
