Thanks Kym. Such a sweet girl.
Sad.
This is a loss that this community will feel for a very long time. My heartfelt condolences to family and friends. Any young life lost is traggic,but in a small town it feels so much deeper as we all tend to know one another. This community has lost so much as of late, but for us that was nothing compared what we have lost in such a beautiful young woman who had barely begun to live.
A crying shame indeed, condolences to her family!!!
