Such a beautiful angel that was taken too soon and so quick. You were such a joy to be around-a smile that lit up a room. It's still so hard to digest that you have entered into another life, but I know I have another guardian angel watching over me. Miss you so much, but we all will meet in that heavenly ski one day. Luv ya, Tammy
