I think about her as she sat at her desk working and listening to her music on her ipod and just "rocking". That's how I will always remember her.

• Before you were sick you always had the prettiest long blond hair, and the biggest smile I ever saw, with teeth showing from ear to ear, and you always chose well in the clothes to wear. When did you get sick anyway, it seems such a long time, I have no point of reference, no landmark in mind, love and compassion grew around you, like a new dime how you could shine. You always gave of yourself to the benefit of others; one might say you were salt of the earth, family and friends where central in your world, that and those beautiful petite point gifts, every detail, of each gift you planned months in advance for the next baby shower or birth. You left us far too young, though not without a valiant effort, those close to you have been forever changed by your strength, always family and friends will mean more, with that you can take comfort. - Posted by: Danny Dankewich () on: Jan 12, 2013
