Blessings on the family and friends of Ursula. I wish I had met her. She made the most beautiful mother of the bride tea length gown that I walked my daughter down the aisle with, almost 25 years ago. What a lovely lady. Rest in heavenly peace, Ursula.

Such a beautiful person I worked for Ursula for 12 years. All her employees were her family. I will all keep you close in my heart. Until we meet again . Another angel added to heaven.

As always her generosity was as large as her heart. When I was the official chaperone to the Albany Tulip Queen I asked her if she would design and make the official gown, She said of course--beautiful and priceless, just like her!
