My heart and prayers go out to your family, what a great loss, she was a wonderful Lady. I have known her for 30 years, I could go years without seeing her, and when we'd get together, it was if no time at all had gone by, she was wonderful. She kinda took my and my baby daughter under her wind back then, I am thankful I was blessed to have known her. Deepest sympathy to you all. She is in Gods loving arms.
