"Flea" was one of the nicest, most hardworking, and talented gymnasts I ever got to work with. As a beginning coach, I learned more from her than I ever could have taught her. She was mature beyond her years, intelligent and funny, warmhearted, and a great friend to everyone she met. I am very thankful for the years she brightened our gym. I will always remember her laugh and her smile, and how she'd be the first one to help-out someone who'd had a fall, or a bad routine, or just needed some cheering-up. Everyone loved her, and she genuinely cared about everyone else. I am so very sorry she is gone, and far too soon, but what she contributed to all our lives will never be lost, nor forgotten. Who would ever think a cute little Flea could have such a big impact? (Everyone who knew her!)
To all those she left behind, her parents, brothers, husband, children, family and friends, you have my sincerest condolences.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
