You were an inspiration and a key figure to the person I have become. I last knew of your whereabouts in which you relocated from your assisted living, to your nephews home. From their we have lost contact, but know you were always on my mind. I will dearly miss you. I have been blessed to know you since 1965. You had assisted me a great deal as a child. We were never one to really write but we spoke often. Thank you for all you have done, and know that it was with an extremely heavy heart that I learned of your passing. May God relieve any burdens and sit you by His side in Heaven, as you deserve no less. You were an Angel. I ask that anything I can do, please feel free to contact me. I am at your disposal.
