I send my prayers to the family during this trying time. I remember waiting on Salinda everyday when Homer and her would come into the Galleria Mall and get their coffees at McDonalds. She always kept us our toes and always knew how to put a smile on our faces. She will for ever be missed. But may she now rest in peace.
