In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. She was indeed a fine lady and we will always miss her smile, laughter and bright vibrant colors! I will miss the way she would tell a story and at the end , turn her head away and slightly up. Always fun to be around, enjoyed life and and her friends. Cindy and Candy were buddies, talking on the phone and going out for coffee. We will miss you but never forget you, may God be with you now.
