So many good memories of Demi as I used to call her.
We met when I hired her in The Children's place in Englewood, NJ and since then we clicked, we laughed a lot in that job. She told me tons of stories about her family, of her camping by her grandma’s house in PA. She also let me taste lots of her food that she did from scratch like a professional. I feel horrible that I can’t ever talk to her again.
My condolences to Sam, the kids and her family.

Sister, this doesn’t feel real—it’s too soon. I’m going to miss your energy so much. You had a way of lighting up every room the moment you walked in, always dancing, smiling, and laughing like you carried joy wherever you went. I’ll miss our adventures together—trying new restaurants, making memories, and those trips to amusement parks that always turned into the best days.
You brought so much light into my life, and that love will never fade. I love you always.
