You were one special lady. I loved working work you. You were so kind you had me over to your house when the weather was bad so I didn't have to travel from Mulberry to work or home. You also had the best meals. I wish I had known where you were these last few years so we could have visited again. I will always hold a place in my heart for you. Robbie and Connie and family you have my heartfelt sympathy.
