She was a sweet girl when she attended Annunciation Catholic school. She played sports with my daughter and was coached by my husband in basketball and sister in law in volleyball. I am heartbroken about this. She had so much life to live. So sorry and my sincere deepest condolences to her family... sonsorry it's so late. I just noticed about this. Hugs and prayers to you all. Very sweet girl, always aim to please everyone and anyone.
