Jim, Libby, Janet and Valerie,

Please accept my sympathies. She was a wonderful woman with that easy smile.
The first memory I have of her was when we were small. Brian, Leslie and I were at either Janets or Valeries birthday party. I am sure Cheryl, Alan and Pinky were there too! She served corn dogs on a stick and mine fell on the floor. With a big smile, she told me not to worry and quickly picked up that corn dog and got me a new one. It is a fond memory.
with love, Sue
