I'm sure that she is the brightest star in heaven and the angels have welcomed her with open arms. She will be missed by so many but her spirit will live forever in our hearts. I loved her so much and she was such a great person and wonderful friend. She loved her family so much. Try to focus on the brighter memories she gave us all.
