Life and Aspirations
Summer graduated from Hilliard Davidson High School in 1997. Her greatest aspiration was to become a nurse, and she attended nursing school for several years until illness prevented her from completing her studies. Despite this setback, Summer dedicated herself to caring for others, working as a Community Liaison, and providing support to individuals facing adversity. She also worked in vehicle repossession, where she was known for her remarkable interpersonal skills and empathy, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Creative Spirit and Unconditional Love
Summer was a truly creative soul who found joy in expressing herself through various crafts. She delighted in spending much of her time making beautiful things, always bringing her unique touch to every project she undertook. Music and movement were also close to her heart; she loved to sing and dance, often filling the room with laughter and warmth. Even if her vocals were not always perfect, she sang with the confidence and passion of a superstar, especially when her favourite songs played on the radio at full volume.
To me, Summer will always be my superstar. Each night, I will search the sky for the brightest star, keeping her spirit close.
A Mother's Eternal Love
True love, the kind that endures beyond measure, never truly fades. When you love someone deeply, it is impossible to simply move on or let go-the bond remains, unwavering and unconditional, lasting a lifetime. Summer, I will hold you in my heart forever. My greatest regret is not being by your side in your final moments, but I take comfort in knowing you are now at peace.
I love you always, Mom
