Sparky and I met a few years ago when she started bicycling with my husband Mike. We became good friends. She would start to talk to Mike about some personal girl thing and he would interrupt her and say "wrong spouse". Her kind heartedness and desire to always think well of others made her such a positive force in everyone's life. Knowing her has made me a better person. I will miss her terrribly.

Sparky was the great motivator in our running group. She loved good wine, good food, and a really hard workout. She did not like the heat and humidity of South Carolina. Sparky, you will be missed.

I didn't know Sparky very long but she was a bright light that burned out much too quickly. Her spirit will be missed!

Sparky was one of my favorite's to visit and hang out with at running accounts, events, etc.



Sparky had a passion and enthusiasm for endurance races. We spoke several times about our common interest's...



Sparky had the unique gift of friendship, and an ease with others. 10 minutes after I first met Sparky, I felt as though we knew eachother our entire life.



Sparky, you will be missed, and not forgotten. You touched my heart.

Godspeed

Love
