Approximately once a month we would receive a phone call from a sweet little voice asking if we had anything for the Purple Heart. I would know it was her by looking at our caller ID. Although we didn't have anything most of the time, it was always a pleasant call by comparison with some of the other calls we receive.
Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

I was so shocked to come across this. I have misssed talking with her as a Purpole Heart volunteer caller. She was as nice and pleasant to deal with as she was beautiful. My condolences to her family.
