I’m still speechless. She was so loving and caring to whoever she came in contact with. I’m saddened to learn of her illness and passing. I’m glad to have been able to call her my friend. Heaven gained another angel.

in honor of Ariel.

A very special memory that I hold very close to me is a more recent one. When Ariel passed away Saturday morning, I had this overwhelming desire to brush her hair & take care of her. It wasn’t pick her out a dress or anything else (although I naturally wanted to help in any and all ways) it was so specific.. brush her hair. As the day went on & as the next day came I realized that was probably her asking me if I’d brush her hair. She was always taking care of me, helping me with my makeup and giving me tips and sharing tricks. One day we were getting ready to go out and I either asked for help or she volunteered to help do my hair and she got so excited. She was also doing my makeup. She said she loved getting ready with me and doing my hair because she didn’t ever really get to do that much as she has all brothers. I know it meant a lot and so yeah, I felt like that was her way of asking me to help her when she couldn’t do it.

Ariel was such an incredible person and an amazing friend. It was such a blessing to have her in our lives and to have had the privilege of knowing her. The world will be a little less joyful without her infectious smile and wonderful personality. She will be greatly missed.

Im so sad she was such an amazing woman! I met her when she moved into my church ward and came into the young womans and eventually became the young womans president, she was always so caring, you could always feel her love.
