Was saddened to see the passing of a dear old friend and co-worker of 3 years, in the newspaper.
She was always so sweet. We always talked about our children, gardening and the good old days of our beach cabins and shrimping.
May God wrap you in his love and give you peace and comfort.
With sympathy,
