Any free time she had, Sky loved making Tik Tok videos with her sister, Alexia, and playing Roblox with her cousin, Lizzy. Sky was a firecracker! She had a uniqueness to her with red hair, blue eyes, and a personality to match. She had a beautiful soul, a beautiful heart, and could melt your heart with her smile.

She was a kind and loving person who cared about everyone around her.
