Dear sweet Abbey... you are always with us. Michael's rainbow wall and this is so very many memories from when you were still in elementary school. You helped plant tulips on our deck that never would have been without you and it has become Abbey's Garden, one night an old solar light that hadn't worked in years and was Rusty started again because I tapped it and said come on Abby show us you're here in our garden with us. Tonight I attached pictures the newest beautiful solar lights added to your expanded Memorial Garden on our deck. We never need to look at something you've done or made to remember how you will always be a part Who We Are and what is to become. I know you are at peace Which is far better than many that never know any peace. Always and forever.

I met you when I first got clean. It breaks my heart to know I am still here and you are not. I will honor your life by still staying clean. You was such a sweet person who never was afraid to say it like it was. I will miss you deeply. I hope you have found peace now.

My deepest condolences to the family. Abbey and I were in recovery together and lived in a halfway house in Asheville North Carolina. Abbey was a beautiful determined young woman. We had some great times together and had deep heart felt conversations. I was and always will be proud of Abbey. Though we went our separate ways, we kept intouch with each other. It was truly a blessing to have known Abbey. I will always remember her and love her. I have memories to cherish forever. Rest In Peace Abbey, no more pain, hurt or sorrow.
