I have really missed her since she left the Bradford area. I worked with her in Bradford and traveled to Pa. AMT meetings with her. We went to the national meeting in Vermont one year. She was always a good friend to me. I am so sorry for the family's loss.

I truly enjoyed our early morning chats just before worship services began on Sunday. We talked about the weather, where she had been if she had been missing for a week or two, her faith, and just life in general. She was such a sweet soul...a blessing in my life.
