From Those Who Loved Her

“Here is a video of Chloe followed by Leilani and the rest of the varsity volleyball team on their final game day entrance on senior night..”

— Jennifer Moore-Curtis

“Chloe was a ray of sunshine, she had the biggest brightest smile, the most contagious laugh, and always knew how to have a good time. I loved Chloe like a sister, she was my best friend, teammate, and apart of my family and her and her family always made me feel like apart of hers as well. Chloe was someone you could always count on she was always there for you, she is someone that got me through a lot and I believe she did that for a lot of people, she always gave the best advice and knew exactly what to say, she was someone loved by so many people, and made such a big impact on so many people’s lives. She was apart of my sweet 16, stayed up until 6am the night before helping set up, she chose me to be one of the people she had walk her out for our volleyball senior night, she is someone that I saw being one of my maid of honors at my wedding, all the long volleyball tournament weekends at the hotels, all the sleepovers, all the singing at the top of our lungs in the car, my life is filled with so many good memories of Chloe. As I said before chloe was my best friend and will always have a place in my heart, I am so grateful to have had the time that I did have with her and I will always remember her! I love you girl!”

“Chloe and I one time (of many) had gotten into our mom’s makeup bag, of course it was my idea, and I took my moms bronzer and decided to put it all over chloe’s face. It was more of a golden look not tan lol don’t worry. She sat through it and let me cover her entire face, and I was cracking up laughing looking at her. She was my little buddy through thick and thin, I was the calm to my storm, she trusted me and that was everything to me and more <3”
