What a character! I will so miss her! She was a dedicated friend to anyone she cared about and who cared about her. She could make me smile and laugh hysterically. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace, and may God grant strength and comfort to all her family and friends who will grieve her loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
