She was independent, healthy and had plans for the future, more weddings, parties, trips, more family time which she loved and most of all more happiness."

Now our hearts are broken and may never be truly mended, a huge part of our family taken too soon."

"But we know May will look over us all through this tough time. You will be missed so very much every single day and we will love you forever. "
