My sister Athena was truly one of a kind. She was funny, mischievous, and always ready for a good time—the life of every gathering. A gifted artist, she had an incredible talent for creating beautiful decorations and fashion pieces. I’ll always treasure how much love and effort she poured into making my wedding decorations so special.

Athena loved music, her cats, and anything sci-fi—especially Star Trek. She had many passions, but her greatest love was her daughter, Katrina. Katrina enriched Athena’s life in a way nothing else ever could. She was dedicated to giving her the best education and worked tirelessly to support her in every endeavor.

My heart aches that Athena’s life was so short. I know she would be heartbroken to miss the new adventures ahead in Katrina’s life, but I also know she’ll be watching over her—beaming with pride.

Athena would have made the most wonderful old lady; she would have lit up any nursing home and had all the residents laughing until they cried. I miss her deeply and endlessly.

Love,

“Your baby sister,” as you loved to call me—

Rachel

And that is how she lived her life very deeply and whatever she was conquering at that time. I will miss her fun times and always remember the good memories.  Love you all , Joani
