This was the women so often as a young girl I did get to see often as my friends mother often took. Us here to shop. It was the best shop in town for young ones and I remember she always was so pretty and dressed nice and often allowed Ms Easley to take dresses home to let Lori try them on there as Lori was so much more the tomboy back in those days. We often would be downtown and the store had beautiful window dressings fit for a princess and/or prince !
We know that she is singing and dancing up in heaven now that she has left her earthly home and hope her family have peace in knowing that she now home
God Bless
