She was the girl that would sing loudly in the car with you to bad 90's music or current rap. She would do the little things that she knew annoyed you, because it was "our" thing. She would send a heartfelt text that would make you cry or a crazy picture to make you laugh or a simple "I love you. Have a great day!". She was a great daughter, sister, auntie and friend.
