To Donna, Marlene, Brenda, Doug, Brett, and all of Dru's family; my very deepest and heartfelt sympathy. She was adored by her family, and friends.
Dru was one of the most courageous individuals I have known. She possessed an inner strength that was evident throughout my time with her.
I shall miss her greatly, the soft spoken voice, and those magnificent blue eyes, and her humor.
You are free, Dru ... and I hope, in a special place, looking down on all of us. Love to you, Dru.
