MEET PAIGE

IN MEMORY OF THE MOST COURAGEOUS AND LOVING WOMAN,
PAIGE PORTER HYATT

LIFE IS FUNNY, ISN’T IT?

PAIGE PORTER HYATT CAME INTO THE WORLD 50 YEARS AGO, AND EVERY PERSON SHE MET DURING THAT TIME WAS NEVER THE SAME.

SHE WAS IRREVERENT.

SHE COULD LAUGH IN A NANOSECOND AND DRINK DIRTY MARTINIS WITH THE BEST OF THEM. SHE SPOKE HER MIND AND LOVED WITH A FIERCENESS THAT MOST HAD NEVER SEEN. TEARS AND LAUGHTER WERE INTER-CHANGEABLE AND FREQUENT.
IF SHE LOVED YOU, YOU WOULD BE LOVED LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
YOU WOULD BE BLESSED WITH A SHOWERING OF AFFECTION LIKE ONLY PAIGE COULD GIVE.

AND YOU WOULD CRAVE IT.

YOU WOULD NEED YOUR PAIGE FIX.
YOU WOULD NEED THAT FLASH OF A SMILE!

LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE ISN’T IT?

WHEN SHE GOT SICK, WE ALL HELD OUR BREATH. BUT NOT PAIGE, SHE FACED ADVERSITY WITH A VENGEANCE AND FEARLESSNESS THAT SHOOK EVERYONE TO THE CORE.

WE WEREN’T AS STRONG AS SHE WAS.

WITH MOST ODDS AGAINST HER SHE TOLD US, “I’D RATHER IT BE ME THAT WAS DIAGNOSED THEN SOMEBODY ELSE BECAUSE I CAN HANDLE IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN’T.”

FOR 7 YEARS, NOT ONLY DID SHE HANDLE IT, SHE HANDLED IT WITH GRACE, COURAGE, AND STRENGTH.

LIFE IS SAD,

PAIGE HAS LEFT US.

WE ARE LEFT WITH THE FAST SMILE, FAST WALK AND THE FAST REALIZATION THAT HEAVEN HAS GAINED A SASSY LADY THAT IS GOING TO SHAKE THINGS UP. SHE WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS A BIG PARTY WITH PLENTY OF BEER ON ICE AND A WELCOMING COMMITTEE FOR ALL OF US THAT FOLLOW HER TO HEAVEN.

NOW, THAT’S MY KIND OF HEAVEN!!

LIFE IS AMAZING.

AND MORE AMAZING BECAUSE SHE WAS IN IT
