“Sierra had a care-free sense of laughter and goofiness. A pure kind of joy.”

“She had so much enthusiasm for life.”

“She was a really bright light.”

“She was my big sister. She was strong and relentless and I never thought anything could get the best of her.”

“Sierra just made you feel more alive.”

Sierra Ruth was vibrant. She was stubborn, firey and courageous.

She was taken from this world by way of a nasty disease far too soon.

This is her story.

Reece is afraid.

Born looking up to an older sister, she was not meant to be an only child, taking on the world alone.

She cannot say the words “my sister is dead” aloud.

Reece loves her sister deeply and knows she is loved back.

She laughs and cries and dissociates and stumbles and thrives.

Reece is an immensely invulnerable person taking on an immensely vulnerable task.

Reece wants others like her and her sister to feel seen. To know that they do not walk alone.

This is her story.
