I was born on May 3, 1997

On August 28, 2010, I did not wake up. My heart stopped while I was sleeping. I did not live long enough to show the world my true potential. I'm not sure of the exact cause of my death yet, but my parents were told that I died of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. They are still performing some additional tests to determine the exact cause . My parents and friends are patiently awaiting the results. Although I am not physically with you, I know I will make a difference.
