I had the honor and privledge of knowing Starr. She was a wonderful woman. It is extraordinary to meet someone with that special "glow", she was truly beautiful inside and out. Intelligent, compassionate and no one that ever met her could ever forget her bright smile. She was a rare and precious gem. I am a better person for knowing her and she will be so very missed.
