Marissa... we became friends immediately when we met almost eight years ago... You were a wonderful person, always giving and kind and always seeking out the best in everybody. You were always so happy and full of life, and you were always there for everybody. You would give a complete stranger the shirt off your back and I always respected you for that. I will always remember our crazy adventures and the time we spent together. It was an honor to call you my friend. We will never let Angel Rene forget how much his mama loves him. We love you and will miss you dearly.

"Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.
Some people come into our lives
and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance." Im so glad the we had the chance to know each other an become friends! Thank you!
