I want you to know I will never forget the smiles & conversations we shared and the deep love for her family and children. She was always sharing stories or having me make a card for someone in her family. Julie she loved you so very much her heart always reached to be like you. M you were her best friend, KaDe you were always spoke of as the princess, Zion you in her eyes were the brother who could never do wrong and of who she was so proud of. Her babies she spoke of as if they were her air. She was one of my closest friends and I am proud to have shared time with her building confidence and seeing in others what no one took the time to see. Pink I Love you and will always miss you You are a beautiful woman no matter what any one says they didn't wear your shoes and your battle was not theirs to understand only love you through it like you have done many others. Thank you Cami Reibsamen Wistrick Des Moines, Ia
