Sunny Evans was a wonderful friend and a fabulous human being. I would wish for everyone that they have a friend like Sunny in their lives. She made my life better and because she did, I learned important lessons about friendship, living, and loving. I will hold her dearly in my heart forever.
I am sorry for her family's loss.
Love,
Ginni
