Ms. Midgett was loved by my mom, Prudence Cook, and by our family. We visited her, enjoyed her company, and will miss her.

It was a pleasure knowing you (Memry) and we at Nailphoria Day Spa enjoyed each month spending quality time, history conversations and eating. You are always in our hearts. Team Nailphoria Day Spa (Oakland, CA)

My sympathies to her family and loved ones. RIP Brad Stone, KCSM-FM and KSJS-FM.
