Sierra was an extremely intelligent, passionate person with a unique sense of humor. I truly have lost such a dear friend and "derby wife". My heart breaks over this loss and for all of those that were fortunate enough to have shared their lives inside of her light. The galaxy lost a very bright star and the world will now be a little darker without her. I love you dear friend and will miss you indubitably. Until we meet again.... ❤
