Abbey was my dearest friend and cousin. It is so very hard to realize that I will not again be able to have our wonderful conversations about our youth and life. I will miss her cheerfulness, humor and upbeat attitude. I love and will miss her always.

Abbey was a beacon of Love, Light and Laughter to each and every life that she touched. And there were many.

Her magnetic personality drew you in, and instant friendships were made.

The light she brought to the world will never dim. And we are blessed to have been a part of her life.

Forever grateful.
