She quickly became my oldest daughters best friend and became like a daughter to me. You couldn't help but fall in love with her and her spirit. She was very passionate about her family, friends, and her beliefs. I would have never imagined I would be seeing her & hugging her for the last time on 9-14-19.

Tristan always had a love for animals and possessed a very calming nature which made it so easy for everyone who met him to love him. When he was a little boy, he would bounce on his spring horse while watching his favorite movies. During high school, he was involved in theatre where he really began to shine. He enjoyed working out, teaching himself multiple languages and watching movies. He put others before himself and always offered a hug or word of encouragement. He is a true hero.

Jim was a deep thinker, a great tennis player, and a lover of the creation. He studied forestry in college and lived most of his adult life in the remote woods of Westmoreland.

His process was cut short in this life, but my hope and prayer is that his journey found its end in the loving company of his Creator.
