A great coworker, friend, Duke's documentation Queen, and a wonderful one of a kind. I never wondered what was on your mind. A tremendous loss for family, friends, and her animals. We're hanging onto the peace and comfort knowing where you are today and feeling much better. I'll miss you my friend.
