A family statement: “At age 27 when life is so full of hope, her world changed forever. She lost her ability to talk, to walk, to feel, but she didn’t loose her ability to love, to believe, to live. She took the cards dealt her and with strength and courage she faced the new life given her. She taught all of us what it means to never give up, to stay strong, to have hope and to always live life no matter how difficult at times it may be. She did all those things with such amazing strength and courage facing each new battle with hope. She never gave up the fight to live a full and happy life. She taught us all so much about the true meaning of living.”
