I am humbled, and honored by the notice of appreciation from the family. She was absolutely a ray of sunshine for me. We walked,talked,and laughed together. I will miss her hugs when I get to her house in the mornings. I am so privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know such a sweet soul.......I will miss her more than words can say. Lynette
