Why my Marmy loves me: Because you are an amazing person with so much joy, life and light that you bring to others because you are rooted in Christ!! Hope Bearer and Light Giver are two phrases used to describe you lately by others at church and they are 100% correct!!! We love your fun personality, your ridiculousness with Shrimpy, the way you love others and cheer them on in life, that you bring joy wherever you go and that you don't give up!! It hasn't been an easy year with lots of back pain, frustration with young life and school, but you continue to walk with Jesus and draw others to HIM!!! We love you Bugga!!! Happy 17th Birthday!!!
