Savannah was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was the quiet, the steady, in a chaotic room. Although she was a quiet, sweet young woman, her sense of humor was unmatched. Her laugh was a contagious giggle that we will all miss. Savannah was known for her talent and creativity. She spent most of her free time expressing herself through her drawings, paintings, and poetry. Her sister Nina describes Savannah as magnetic. And she was. Others were drawn to her energy and lighthearted spirit. Savannah will be deeply missed by all whose lives she has touched.
