“I honestly don’t know what to say. I didn’t ever expect to get a text telling me you were no longer with us. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to see you, but watching you grow from our awkward middle school and high school stages to the strong, adventurous, and smart woman you became was something to be jealous of. Seeing all your travels made me feel like you had finally made it; doing something you loved made me so happy for you, even if it was from a distance.”
