Savanah,
Sometimes words cannot express the emotions we feel. This is why I love art. We can use images, materials and colors to express things we never thought we could. I loved having you in my classroom for 4 years. I loved hearing you talk about your artworks, talk about others artworks and create your own art works. Your spirit, your energy, your always shining smile was such a light in the room. Even after your graduated your artwork still adorned my walls. I needed to keep a reminder of you, that spirit, that light. I value the time we got to share together. I treasure all the art you created. Your artistic voice and works will continue to speak to students for years to come. My heart is hurting for your family, friends and love ones. I know what an amazing support system you had with all your loved ones. You are so missed here. Look at your self portrait you created in my room. I remember us talking about how you are more than just a number, more than just a smart student. You have and will always be so much more. To your spirit in the next steps, please look over us and help these future artists grow from your heavenly guidance.
Miss you in 101,
Mrs. Berneche

Savanah was a great person. Eventhough I only knew her for a short time, she was not only my coworker, but an amazing friend. She would always check on me at work and I don't know how she knew but she could always tell when something was bothering me. I can hear her right now asking what's wrong ladybug? She had a personality that would light up a room. She was selfless and always included everyone. She would stop whatever she was doing and always help at a task no matter how big or small. Heaven gained a beautiful angel and she will always be missed and never forgotten.

I only knew Savanah for 3 months, but she had a big impact. She was bubbly and exuded a bright aura. Savanah was always smiling and willing to help others. She was very smart too. I will miss her.

Our sincerest condolences to the family of Savanah Grace Atkins. We thank you for sharing the service and we are grateful that we were able to attend via live streaming all the way from Colorado. Losing a child...no matter what age that child is...is beyond our comprehension. It has to be the most heartbreaking experience a parent has to go through. As the maternal grandparents of Ana, we are devastated at the loss of our grandchild. Looking at photos we take joy in the fact that Ana and Savanah looked happy and content. May you find comfort in knowing that they are at peace and will always be remembered.
Ginny and James Stewart

Anita, Blake, and the rest of the Atkins family-
Words cannot express how deep our condolences are for the loss of Savanah. I will never forget the first time I met her, after only being in Richmond one month, and how she willingly came to my family's aid during a scary situation. She has had a lifelong positive impact on both Gretchen and Spencer; both of whom followed in her footsteps by attending MathSci (very much due to her positive influence and speaking so highly of the program.) She was ever the favorite babysitter in our household. Every Easter, the kids still wear the Easter bunny ear craft that Savanah brought with her one evening.
Professionally, it was a joy for me to be able to work with Savanah at Henrico. Her vivacious energy, smiling face, and infectious laugh were a pleasure to be around. She engaged many of the pharmacy staff and arranged a group Dungeons and Dragons game that was played weekly. She was a friend to many and made connections easily. In addition, Savanah elevated the controlled substances program beyond what I had imagined; tackling her workload with gusto and bringing her intelligence to the many reports that were required. I could not have asked for a more thorough technician in this position and the program thrived once she assumed the helm.
While my family will miss her physical presence, her impact will be long lasting in our lives. She was a wonderful person and we will miss her dearly. We wish you peace and comfort during this extremely difficult time.
Much love to you all-
Sarah (Todd, Gretchen, & Spencer) Gaffney

My condolences to the Atkins family. I have worked with Savanah for an unfortunate short period of time, but within the month or two, I have gained an amazing friend and colleague. Savanah was always so cheerful and was a very hard worker. She never hesitated to help her co-workers. She brought, positivity, joy, and laughter to our department here at TriCities Hospital.
Savanah, my friend, my colleague, until we meet again! Rest easy! Rest peacefully.

Mr. and Mrs. Adkins,
Words cannot express our genuine sorrow for your loss. We are devastated both for own loss and yours. Bev and I take comfort in the fact we got to know your daughter for over a year. We were happy Ana and Savanah were happy together. Over the past year we got to spend time with her and Ana--dinner, whether going out or at our house, playing card games, escape room, or just talking. She was an intelligent, engaging, and a loving human being. We are grateful they found each other. We look forward to meeting you even though the circumstances cannot be any worse. Take care and you will forever be in our thoughts.
Joe and Beverly Davis

I remember Savannah as a very sweet and loving person. She had a good sense of humor, she was usually laughing and joking around when I saw her at family functions.
I also remember how well loved she was, by everyone. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
