I was so suprised when I read this in Fridays paper last night, I would have been there,she was such a wonderful person and taught me so much at the club when we worked together for all those years, she was such a strong women and proud and good spirited, she gave me a run for the money sometimes but it was to only teach me something at the end. She will sure be missed we had been keepin contact until this past year I guess I let her down on that and I am sorry. she loved her boys we would talk about them often.my heart goes out to you all..
