Destiny Souza came into this world weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz., with Shirley Temple curls and piercing blue eyes. From the beginning she had all eyes on her and could light up a room with her smile.
She grew into a beautiful young girl with an outgoing personality, a free spirit, and an amazing sense of humor. She was an honor roll student and talented award winning gymnast and figure skater.
Unfortunately she made friends with everyone she met and easily fell in with the wrong crowd. As a young teen her trouble with addiction began.
With the love and support of her family and her desire to beat the addiction, she remained clean and sober for eight months. But unfortunately the addiction was too strong. It ended up costing her her life.
As any family knows you are never prepared to bury a child. We ask that you find it in your heart to help us lay her to rest.
As surviving family members, we understand that addiction doesn't discriminate. Race, creed, color, age. It takes what it wants!
But, our baby girl is finally free from the daily struggle within herself. She has won that war!!
