Our beloved daughter Abby passed away at the tender age of sixteen. Abby was a truly beautiful and magical young lady who shed light everywhere she went. Her loss leaves a huge hole in our hearts. At sixteen, she was sincere, loving, slightly shy, compassionate, honest and caring.

Abby had a deep love of animals and in particular, loved to ride horses. She planned on becoming a horse trainer and continue to compete in equestrian events. She was the happiest, when she rode Owen, her favorite pony.

She loved to read scary stories and watch spooky shows. She loved to play games like Harry Potter Monopoly, Scream and Roblox with her friends and family. Abby was artistic and loved to draw with her grandma. She enjoyed writing stories.

She performed in The Little Mermaid at the Majestic Theater at 9 years old as the Blowfish. It was a sold out performance for a week. During the second to last show, she had a profound nosebleed. This did not stop her from completing her performance.

She was an intelligent young lady who engaged in interesting and thoughtful conversations. When she had friends over, she always made sure everyone felt included. These are the moments we will cherish forever, the moments that remind us what a beautiful soul she had.

While we know the pain of her absence is profound, we also know that her memory will live on in the lives of those she touched. Her spirit will continue to inspire us to live with the same passion, kindness, and honesty she embodied.

Though our time with Abby was tragically cut short, the love she gave us and impact she had on our lives will endure forever. She will always be loved, always remembered, and always missed.
