She is caring and giving to everyone, and full of life with her immense hugs. She's the best friend you could have. She has an infectious personality, so much so, that her immediate circle of friends numbers several hundred people. She will always be remembered for her fun personality and ability to make people laugh. She gave joy to everyone. We will never look at her life in the past tense, but always in the present tense, as she is with us in our hearts today, and will be for all time. We need only remember her love and laughter for her to be with us at any time.
