Dear Mary and Butch,
We knew she would not be with us long but it didn't stop the pain. We have lost a good hearted warm minded friend. She was more than a friend to us, it was more like having another Mom.
Her spirit was behind all that was good. Her quick wit, her bright smile her love of nature made the Anchorage home to all that passed her way.
" We will meet and we will miss her, there will be a vacant chair". Good Bye Barbara M. Steadman Thanks for everything.
