So many knew my daughter Courtney, so many came to her funeral. She was so loved, and she is very missed by all of those that she has touched. Courtney, enjoyed her life to the fullest. She loved nature and she loved people. Courtney, had this laugh that is one of a kind just like her, she could light up a room with her smile and laughter. She loved being a C.N.A when she was younger, and she loved E.M.T rescue as well but when it came to volunteer fire fighting she was hooked and she went onto C.D.F fire fighting. Courtney, loved her education she worked very hard to get to where she was in her life. She achieved so many awards and scholarships. She was president of Phi-Theta- Kappa. Mesa Society, and she recieved the Ford Scholarship to attend Humboldt University. She was at Humboldt for only a few weeks before she died, and so many people there already knew her and cared about her. She was invited to attend a special group of Microbiologist to go to S. Africa to work on a special project. Courtney, had already passed aways when we recieved the information. The Community and our church family and the Ford Foundation, C.D.F. and many others came together to help the family handle these hard times and to give her a proper funeral. We miss our Courtney, and she is our Hero and Angel.
