So many things I wanted to write about you and can just now get through some of it. You were such a ray of sunshine in so many lives. You never gave up when you were dealt with more hurdles than others. Your ability to make others laugh and your perseverance to continue to learn and grow
and accept the challenges you were presented made you a stronger person than I ever was. You were my helper with your 3 younger brothers. You loved them so much. They miss you so much.
You were so beautiful inside and out. You were gentle, kind. Caring, athletic and
Intelligent in so many creative ways.
I have much more to describe your life but for now...rest in peace Goodnight
