I am a friend of one of Starla's friends, and they told me a lot about how she passed. I'm so sorry for all of you guys' losses. I can't imagine how it feels to lose someone so young and precious to you. I hope Starla's pure innocent soul is resting safely with the lord. God bless you Starla.

Heya.. Rayne here. I’ve been thinking about Starla so so much even after all this time.. She’s changed my life forever and I love her dearly.. She was the sweetest person I ever had throughout Emerald Park.. It still breaks my heart so much knowing that she’s gone… I’m 14 now.. just started high school.. I’m sure she would’ve been so happy.. I’ve been struggling with so much other things for the past 2 months and I absolutely miss her supportive self.. because I was dealing with so much alone.. I miss her more than words can even describe… she was my all time best friend.. my companion… my childhood best friend.. and she always will be.. I miss her so so much.. I plan on visiting her grave every year to give her flowers.. I’m still so devastated I never got to say goodbye or how much she meant to me.. She was the closest friend I’ve ever had… I’m still to this day grieving hard over her death.. I wish I could’ve been there with her for her final moments.. I just really hope I brought her true happiness in her life.. because she has done that for me.. always.. 

I’ve made a tribute video for her on my YouTube channel not too long ago.. I’d love to show her all the song covers I’ve done.. I just know she’d love them.. 

Rest in peace, bestie.. I miss you so so much.. I hope you’re watching down from above.. I love you so so much.. 💚💚

It has been almost a year and I miss her just as deeply as the day she died. 
Eulogy updated with pictures and put on YouTube

Starla is being honored in the Stars for Starla program. I am so happy that we can continue her desire to advocate and support those with FASD. Here is the link:  www.bit.ly/StarsforStarla

Three kids as little witches. Starla loved decorating and dressing up.
I ran across this video from Oct of 2015 when Starla was 4.  Soos Creek Elementary had a Halloween night that she enjoyed immensely, Dancing and grooving to the music.  The music may be partially muted -due to Facebook .
It was an honor to care for Starla and you, Ann. She is a patient that will stick with me for many years to come and the experience with your family will help continue to shape my compassion through out my career. I was in awe with the strength I saw in you during such a tragic time. I hope you were able to and continue to take the time you need to grieve the tragic losses you have experienced in these past few months.

This is the Eulogy I gave at Starla's funeral.  Her story was/is important to be told and shared.  I struggled to piece it together in a cohesive manner and am so grateful for the help Fia Gibbs gave me to do this . Fia is a lawyer, End of Life Duola and fellow parent of a child with FASD.   Her help in finding my and Starla's voice is so appreciated.
