You were a light and your kindness touched everyone who had the blessing of knowing you. It´s hard to understand why you had to leave so soon, but I take comfort in knowing your spirit lives on in everyone who was blessed enough to know you.

Too soon. You were always one of the good ones. I have known you since we were teenagers and always thought you were a great person. This world is a darker place without your light.
