In all the years I knew this wonder lady she never disappointed me in being the loyal, loving and caring person everyone knew her to be. She should be an example to all of us of right living. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She made the most of what life handed her; and didn’t complain. She will be missed by me and so many but glad to have had her with us for all these years. I cherish fond memories of my visits with her.
