I will always remember how funny, warm, brave and inspirational she was for me. A truly authentic lady and one of my heroines. I will never forget her or our time together. How proud of her I was, how she made me want to be a better person. In her short life she built, she gave, she sacrificed, she taught, she was siignificant, full of love, integrity and compassion, She empowered others . Many will feel a lasting loss and the memories will live on in those that love her. Her life was exceptional. A bright and shinning light which can never be put out.
