Makeba

Where to begin with "Keba." Her passing has been felt deeply. Keba was such a happy and outgoing young woman. She underwent extensive and intensive radiation and chemotherapy treatment to contain the growth of her tumors. She was an avid runner before the Ewing sarcoma took her ability to ever run again. She learned new skills while she remained in the hospital and created amazing art pieces. Her family and her team were witnesses at the enormous transformation she underwent both physically and spiritually. Her last days were not easy. Keba's family and her team were able to honor her wishes to remain in the hospital until she passed. Keba created such happy and memorable memories with everyone she met. Keba is forever with us.
