She had a sweet spirit that drew others to her. Her contagious giggle could light up a room and her heart was kind and forgiving. She loved just hanging out with Mom and Dad, trips to the gym with brother Dustin, and playing with the family fur babies Zoe and Zorro. She had the privilege this past year of using her talents to teach young ladies tumbling at Cheer Elite. She loved all of her students and felt blessed for the opportunity to be their coach. Her favorite scripture was 1 John 4:19 “We love because He first loved us.” Love one another in her memory and remember her with a smile. Our world will never be the same.
