We watched Ciara play nextdoor in her grandparents back yard as she was growing up. She will be greatly missed.

Ciara had a spirit like no one else. We will miss her everyday and find comfort in the daily miracles. She will surely have a hand in those. Thank you for sharing your daughter and sister with us. Los Sosas
