Summer was a free spirit, brilliant, selfless, and full of life. Her smile could light up any room, her laughter was contagious, and her heart overflowed with compassion. She gave freely, loved deeply, and never hesitated to help those in need. Summer had a special love for children and a gift for making people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
