Monarch Butterfly – in Loving Memory

My sweet cousin Ali passed away Friday morning. She was 39-years-old and leaves behind her husband, her two children ages 6 and 11, her parents, and her older sister.

Ali was so much fun to be around. She was unabashedly daring, and lived her life to the absolute fullest. She was a talented artist who captured beautiful photographic images of Montana farmland and wildlife. This butterfly photo I took recently reminds me of her photography. I felt like she was a kindred spirit. We both enjoyed snowboarding, photography and being mamas to our kiddos. I had so much fun exchanging photos of our daughters who are the same age and trading mama brags about what our kiddos were up to. She was an example of unwavering faith in God, and leaned into her relationship with Jesus during hard times. She was full of love and joy and hope.

I will miss her until we meet again in heaven, may she rest in Peace as we await the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior.
