I liked her, liked her wonderful sense of humour and the way being friends with her came so easily and naturally. Our paths didn't often cross, but whenever they did, we picked up our friendship as if it had never stopped. She embodied the perfect leader: smart, involved, considerate, lovely. She wasn't troubled by the petty things in life, handling everything as it came to her and playing off the major things with her ever-present smile and quick humour. Every moment we spent together made me smile.
