I am so sorry for the loss of this amazing, warm, and loving person who I have had the privilege to call my friend for the past 11 years. When I joined Selective, she was my rock, my right hand, and my friend in leading the team. I am blessed to have known you, to call you my friend, and more. You will be truly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
