I loved Peaola dearly. She was Maid of Honor at my wedding. We lost touch when I moved to California for many years. When I moved back to Arizona, we reconnected. It has always given me great pleasure to know her as one of my greatest friends. She was so thoughtful, kind and caring person. I still miss her.
