I was so sad to see Skippy´s passing... the world was a better place with her in it. I worked as a Pest Technician with her husband Casey back in the late 70s. Both Skippy and Casey were fantastic people. She and I would sit and talk about her acting parts she portrayed in local theatres, ... she was so proud of those. She loved animals to include her Boston Bulldog - `Cricket´, and her Boxer - `Nada´. We all take our turn leaving this life, but some you would like to keep forever.
