Or was it when she would behave like a parent to the rest of us, wanting to make sure we all got home safely after a late practice, when she was the youngest of us all?
I hope to carry with me her tenderness, her love of awkward creatures, and her strength to always speak her mind. RIP morning star less

Dear Fab,
I remember when I met you freshman year at Lehman College. You were so bright and outspoken. It didn’t matter how late you may have been running, your eyeliner and beautiful lipstick were always spectacular. You had the best smile. Truly, the best smile. I never told you how much you inspired me to continue my fitness journey. You’d tell me you always wanted to workout and be as fit as me and as motivated but you never knew I was hanging from a thread at the time. Your constant support towards me helped me keep going and giving it all I had. I’m sorry I never told you that in person. Never made it seem like It meant as much to me as it did. Humans, so proud sometimes.
I never told you how much I valued your friendship. At the time I was in a really bad place spiritually, emotionally and physically. I didn’t really make much friends in college. To be honest, you, Sandra and Jas were the only friends I truly made in all four years. When I was having a hard time fitting in and getting the hang of things you’d always swoop by and give me some words of encouragement. You have no idea how much your friendship meant to me. I needed someone and you were there. All three of you. Thank you so much for that. For just being you so beautifully. For being fearless and never holding back your opinions even when they went against the norm.
To Fabiana’s mom, your daughter was exceptional and although she lived a short life, she lived it to the fullest. She was there for me when I needed her the most. I will never forget her beautiful smile. To be honest I’d be jealous sometimes of how beautiful it was. But never with malicious intent, only with the hopes that maybe one day someone could think of my smile just like I thought of hers. Fabiana will continue living because we all share wonderful memories with her. Our paths crossed and became entangled and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Thank you for giving her life and raising her so well. May she dazzle where ever she goes because I know she will never come close to ordinary. Love you Fabs.
