My family was lucky to have this sweet lady and her husband, Charlie as part time neighbors. We lived across the street on Bass Street and enjoyed chatting with them. They were so nice to our young daughter, Kelly, who is now 18. You will be missed, such a sweet person, but will remember you with many fond memories. Thoughts and prayers are with the family and know how lucky you were to have her as part of your family.

Being a part of your life was entertaining, being a part of the end of your life was an honor. Thank you for always making me feel so special. You and Uncle will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always smile when I think of you both.
