I am thankful for the time that I got to know you while we were in Junior High School together, and am glad that I was able to see you one more time at our 40th year Slidell High School class reunion. You left us to soon and in the prime of your life. I will miss you very much, but you will always be in my heart forever, I considered you a part of my family and you were like a sister to me. I know that God will take good care of your husband, children and granchildren and will help them to deal with the loss of wife, mother and grandmother. My condolences to the family.
