Life will never be the same without her. I'm lucky to have had her as a sister and a friend. Hobby Lobby will never be the same. I love and miss her dearly.

My favorite memory was when I was living with my grandma when I was little. We ate watermelons and I kept the seeds to try and plant my own watermelons in the yard. Me and my grandma would always talk and laugh about that time. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was always so kind and knew how to put a smile on everyone´s face. I will forever miss her.
