On March 30, 2020, we said goodbye to our amazing daughter, sister, wife, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend to so many. KJ you have put up an amazing fight, you never gave up and you taught us all so much about acceptance and unconditional love. Your feisty and fun loving, joke playing spirit will be remembered forever.
