I have known Mrs. C for all my life. Never knew she was a car person until she got that damn Jag, but that car was her. She had a presence all her own that never failed to brighten the lives of all who knew her. May she rest in peace and live long in our memories.

Anita, lived across the street from me in Saratoga. She was my dear friend, my teacher & second Mother. I learned much about life from Anita. I am the person I am today because of her. She is very missed.

She was not only my neighbor, but like a mother, sister, best friend, confidant, grandmother to my children and is sorely missed. I learned so much of life from this wonderful woman.
My heart is with you Gigi. I think you already know that. Billie Hewitt
