Bright purple balloons broke through a cloudy morning at the Los Baños Fairgrounds Saturday.

The color purple not only represented a fight against cancer, but a young girl who gave the color meaning, energy and a face the world won't forget.

Dos Palos' Lia Brady passed away Dec. 10 after a two and half year battle with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma cancer.

Even though she's been taken after a short life, her memory and spirit will live through her family forever.

The recently deceased 6-year-old was not only an inspiration to family members, but they're sure anyone who's ever met the young girl will keep her close and embrace her life's motto: It's not how long you live, but how you live.

A memorial service for Lia was held on Saturday and more than 400 family members, friends and community members met to celebrate a life that ended too early.

The cancer produced multiple tumors in the child's body, including her brain, from the spread of the disease.
