The first time I met you was when I worked part time at Heronimus Department Store in the University Mall. I was blessed to have you in my life. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will always be remembered.

The love you had for your Lord and family was amazing. I know the family will miss you but will forever cherish the wonderful memories of you and Mr. Bill.
