Today my heart has crushed into a billion pieces, Abby you brought so much into so many lives. I'll never forget the day I met you, I had just opened my daycare and you,Andy and Angie were my first kids. It seemed like we became family at that moment. We all became so close and I treasured that. Over the years I have thought of you often. The memories our two families shared still make me smile. My deepest and sincere sympathy goes out to your family. Until we meet again Abby, I will think of you often and smile

My sweet Abby, you were my best friend growing up. We were inseparable. I always thought I was so very lucky to have you and your family in my life. All of my fond childhood memories have you and your family in them. We always thought it would be great to be family and then we were for a short time. The loss of our beautiful smile and soul has left me speechless. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. I will always remember our "concerts" that we used to have in our rooms and smile at the thought. You were my other half as we grew up. I was blessed to have you as my best friend.

So heartbreaking, Abby was such a beautiful girl inside and out. We had a summer where we were pretty close, had lots of pool time and nights out. That girl kept me laughing when we were together, we had such a good time. She was such a sweet soul. Gone too soon. Rest in peace Abby, love you.

Abby my heartbreaks to think that you are no longer blessing this world with your smile. I am praying that your family will find strength, peace, and joy as time passes at the memories they have of you. And that most of all that one day they will be able to smile without tears at those memories.

Oh my abby sue, my twin soul.... I love you so much and don't want to believe we won't grow old together in the desert like we planned. My son says he will miss you but is not sad because we still i have a lifetime. Lol 5 yrs old yet so profound. It does give me a little peace that you are a big part of the healing process in many broken relationships. I promise to go forward in a positive life and live life to the fullest.I know you'll be by my side laughing along the way.
You will always be in my heart and you will always have part of my soul with you as I will have a part of yours with me. I love you and will forever miss you

My sweet "Abner"...memories and sadness have consumed me since the minute I found out. You were like my little sister and I loved nothing more than to watch you grow into the amazing woman you were. I was so proud of you Abby and I was looking forward to sharing in all of the milestones you still had left to go through in this life. I am praying for all of your family...they were everything to you. Until we meet again....somewhere over the rainbow. I love you!
