As Father Doran said, we lost a "gentle lady". I also lost a friend of 40 years. We had great trips to Bermuda, Calif. etc. and always had a great laughs together. I will miss my friend but I know she is in a better place and no longer suffers. My prayers are with all of her family and friends.

My family will be very saddened to hear this news. "Peachie" was a life long friend of my mom's and I actually got to visit with her a few years ago when I was home from Orlando. She was a beautiful lady and will be missed very much. My thoughts are with all of the family.
