It was the summer of 1978 when I was introduced to an amazing lady. She took me in and treated me like a son. Giving was a quality embedded within her soul. Laughter and fun was mandatory within her home. Listening came with great advise. The memories and love will always be with me. A sweet down to earth,kind and loving soul. May you rest in peace as I grieve your loss. The wonderful happy memories will never be lost within me.
