I just learned of this very sad news today when I was at Pathways. She certainly did not look her age. I would have never guessed it. I did not know she was sick at all. I will miss her. I only knew her as a super friendly happy face at Pathways. She always knew my name and was glad to come up and say hello. She was some sunshine for me that I will not forget.
