I have had such a sad heart this week. Thinking about what this family must be going through makes me cry and cry. But today I attended the most beautiful Celebration of Life for a special 10-year-old girl that left this earth too soon. Everyone wore purple, her favorite color. It was so beautiful. The memorial was heartbreaking, full of laughter, and I left with an amazing feeling of hope. The mom gave me words of comfort when I couldn't offer her any. I will never forget Marie's spur of the moment solo during the children's sacrament program a few months ago. I am grateful for this amazing family and this little girl that exhibited happiness unfiltered.

That is a beautiful tribute, (although it made me cry a lot).
I'm glad you shared this, although it breaks my heart, too. It's amazing how kids can touch your heart forever in such a short time.
