May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I am picturing her joyfully reunited with her beloved ones who passed; and outliving her siblings Ron, Bob & Eddie. A woman who had a strong faith, lived an active life, especially at her age, daily walking, fearlessness & outgoing personality & sharp mind. A life well lived & an inspiration to us all. One of the few remaining links to our family history is now gone. Rest In Peace.
