You took the fighting to a different level – always incredibly positive and with a smile on your face." 

“A cheeky and mischievous side to you. You embraced every person and every challenge in your journey. “You taught me so much about cherishing every single moment in life! I feel humbled to have walked a journey with you. I love you So much. RIP,” Miller wrote.
