The light of friendship is like the light of phosphorus, - seen plainest when all around is dark. – Grace Noll Crowell

Ducky smiled as Abby ran, as much as it was possible to run in her platform shoes, out of Autopsy and into the elevator.

She reminded him of a bright burning candle, bringing light to everyone around her. Even in the darkest hours, you could count on her to be present and attempt to make everything better.

She hugged anyone and everyone, believing that it was a friendly thing to do. Although she sometimes had problems understanding when hugging was not appropriate, she always meant well. Her cheerful nature endeared her to everyone.

Her upbeat demeanor rarely faltered, and her ability to find some spark of goodness in the darkest souls showed how caring she was. She used her strong-willed, stubborn nature to assist her in her work, refusing to give up hope when all seemed lost.

A blur of seemingly impossible contradictions, Abby could be relied on to brighten anyone's day.
