She was


Fiercely loyal
Exceedingly generous
Bright and spirited
Radiant
Adventurous
Loving and well-loved
Immensely faithful and God-loving
Positive
Selfless
Genuine
She was a collection of superlatives, the owner of the most enormous heart, the possessor of a personality that is hard to put into words, whose description requires too many adverbs.
She was fun. Her spirit, her laugh, and her smile were contagious. She transformed mundane events and daily life into joyous, thematic celebrations.
She loved her mother enormously; her brother unconditionally; her aunts, uncles, and cousins proudly; her friends fiercely. She loved children warmly. She loved the church intimately. She loved God devotedly.
There was something about her that made everyone near her yearn to gain her friendship.
I knew that I’d been accepted into the family when she accepted me.
