My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Daughn and I go back over 60 years as friends. She was so kind to me and would take me shopping or to a doctors appointment when needed. I will truly miss Daughn.

Daughn, Joe & I are going to miss you so much!! You were taken from us so quickly. We are all in shock! I can't believe we just saw you a week ago, and then again on July 4th, and now you are gone. Darn that cancer sucks!! However we are glad that you didn't suffer long. Rest in peace, my sweet friend. We know that we will see you again one day, in Heaven. Love you sweet lady ♥ I am going to miss the Sunday music/birthday gatherings that you so graciously opened your house to all of us to have there, after Denise moved. I'm including a nice cropped picture of you, which may be one of, if not the last picture taken of you. This was taken of you at Joe's birthday party on June 24th.
