I will always remember her contagious smile. How she glowed in her love for Jesus and inspired others around her to grow in their faith, and to become better at anything they do.
Every time I go to La Fiesta in Troy I will always get our favorite dish the Acopoco Special, it has chicken steak and shrimp! I also can't play ultimate Frisbee or rock climb without thinking of the hundreds of times we got to play/do them together. She taught me so much. I will always cherish those times. There will always be so many things that remind me of her and I will cherish those and continue to always share those memories with those around me.
