We lost what seems like an endless battle but at the same time everything happened so quickly. We have walked with you down your path and are now forced to end our journey. It is time to say goodbye now and we will desperately struggle to continue life without you. The emptiness I feel without you here is unbearable. Not once did you give up and you fought right until the end. Your bravery and strength are envious. We know you will be with us everyday as you told us you would be. You are our angel looking down on us. Your memory will NEVER die. You will be truly missed by all of your family and friends. Dad, Lisa and I are your #1 fans. We love you more than you can imagine.
