Her smile lite up any sad heart, and her hugs made you feel you were her family. She also was my example in how to deal with difficult times. My heart has ached since I heard of her passing, and I will always keep her in my heart. I am glad that she and Ed and Robert and other family are now reunited, but will she be ever missed.
