The first time I met you was at my daughter-in-law Lauren's bridal shower and didn't know who your mom was until after I posted the pictures from the shower on Facebook. You were so sweet and helpful at the shower. I didn't get the chance to bring my granddaughter to see your princess Tiana performance. My granddaughter loves Tiana and always like to wear her dresses. Rest well princess. You and your beautiful smile will be greatly missed. Kim my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May he continue to comfort and strengthen you all and give you peace.

She helped me believe that I could achieve anything I put my mind to. It's thanks to her that I took more risks in life. When you come across someone who is nothing but kind and gracious, cherish them.
