A very dear friend of mine, I wish this never happened to her. We dated in college and remained friends.She lived as she wanted while being an inspiration to us all. A true hero. I think of her often. RIH

Paula, I know I'm late with this but I was looking at someone's Facebook and saw Ardy's name. I am so distraught at hearing that her light had been snuffed out much too soon. She was a special lady indeed. I remember the track meets and her accomplishments. My heart goes out to you, her girls and your family. There are no words of comfort adequate to convey my deepest sympathies. Love & miss you my friend

Dearest Paula,
I am totally shocked as I watched Channel 6 this morning and learned about Ardy. She was one of my special, loved student's at Howard High. May God's blessings give you and your family strength during this difficult time. I, truly, share your pain, but the joyous memories will supersede.
Love
