I thought of you today, like every day. But today it was different it was so heavy. So sad. I love you to my very last breath. Miss you.

Jade, it's been so long since I last saw you. I still miss you so much and think about you so often. I'll always remember our last sleepover together. I hope you're in the most beautiful place anyone could imagine and that your soul is at peace. I will always remember you as the beautiful person you were, inside and out. I wish I could have seen you grow and change with me. You deserve to be here today. Knowing that I will never be able to speak to you again makes my heart ache today just as deeply as it did the day I learned of your passing. I miss you.

This is year 10 without you. My heart is forever broken and you forever 12. My sweet baby girl. I miss you everyday and wish I could have known the beautiful woman you would be today at 22.
Mama loves you always and forever.

I visit this page every so often because I can't believe you're gone it's been 5 years and some months but it still feels like yesterday finding out about your passing at Lange. That morning was one of the hardest I've ever had to go through and I wish that you were still here with us. You would've graduated this year and it just doesn't feel right knowing you didn't have the opportunity to walk across that stage and I will always feel a pain in my heart knowing you were taken from us far too soon. I love and miss you my dear friend.
