Marissa Faith Miao Burghart

Marissa was a beautiful little girl who loved the color purple, life, family, all creatures big and small, adoption, school, her teachers and friends and drawing all the things she loved, but in December 2002 she was diagnosed with brain cancer (DIPG). On September 2003, just one day after her 8th birthday, she lost her battle on earth and is now pain free in heaven.
