As a young adult, her brothers remained her close friends, even though friends were never in short supply for her. She was always surrounded by friends, everywhere she went. She loved her friends like family, and she loved her family immensely. She had a beautiful spirit that she poured out to everyone around her. She loved to laugh and wanted everyone around her to laugh with her. Her smile was beautiful and infectious. She was kind, caring, and fiercely loyal to those she loved.
