It is such a shock to have seen this happen. Not surprising is that it happened while doing something for family. She did love her family. She was personable, vivacious and high spirited when I lived next door. I will always remember her smiles.

So very saddened by the news. I remember her always being with her family at school events. She was so proud of all of you. No words can I express to lessen your pain. Thoughts and prayers for the strength you will need to get used to life here on earth without her. I know you will pass the legacy of love she left on to your children.
