Needless to say how deeply sadded I am about the loss of Althea. When she came down to the desert during the winter months, she, never forgot to put me on her list of friends to spend time with. We would go to movies, lunchens' and dinners'or just hang out at the condo together. Loved hearing her talk about her grandchildren and grant grandchildren. Her jokes always made me laugh. I'm so sorry that I never took her invite to come back up to Seattle and stay with her. I could go on and on about her. I truly loved her and her heart. May she rest in peace with Sam.
Love,
Jackie Molinas
