Ever since I have known her, which wasn't long enough, she showed she was a fighter, not willing to just bow to her illness. She fought back time and again, hard, to stay with all she loved most, all of you. I will miss her and her very brave determination. She has earned the peace and joy and health she is feeling now, and the knowledge of how dearly loved she was by so many.
