My deepest sympathy to all her family and loved ones and especially my dear sweet friend.. her Sister Mary. I will always remember her as the beautiful young woman I grew up up next door to. She had a smile that lit up the room and a laugh that made you smile. A beautiful soul who always spoke her mind ...a strong woman with a soft heart. Rest In Peace In the arms of our precious Savior. The world is a little less shiny without you
