Our beautiful baby had a great love for everyone she knew, and never met a stranger. She has left behind a family who is rejoicing that she is in the hands of God but aching at the loss of her amazing life. She is survived by her family. Her parents, John and Barbara Cadarian; a sister, Tami McKendrick and her husband Dan and daughter Tori. Three brothers, Brian Cadarian, Mike Cadarian and Jeff Cadarian, his wife Julie and three children, Jordan, Justin and Janelle. She is also survived by a paternal grandmother, Lil; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends who will miss her dearly. She is preceded in death by a cousin, Darrell Gregory, a paternal grandfather, John Cadarian and a maternal grandmother, Essie Turnmire, who we are certain, met her at Heaven's Gate rejoicing with her and her new glorious body. She was our baby, our buddy, our playmate, our toy and the love of our lives. She has left us all with a great sadness and emptiness in our hearts. After a life expectancy of three years we are grateful for the almost 37 we were able to spend with her. It proves that only God is in control. We are overjoyed at the peacefulness of her passing and seeing her again in glory. We will miss her greatly until we all meet her again. Heaven will never welcome a sweeter angel and we will always love her. The pallbearers will be brothers, Jeff Cadarian, Mike Cadarian, Brian Cadarian and Dan McKendrick and nephews, Jordan Cadarian and Justin Cadarian. Visitation Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. and Thursday from 1-9 p.m. at the Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home, 13650 E. 15 Mile Road (at Schoenherr) Sterling Heights.
