Such a lovely lady; we knew her at Golden Hills, when it was just that. Saw her often at the Club with her many friends. A truly beautiful woman who will have a high place in Heaven and we are blessed with many wonderful memories. May her family enjoy remembering all she was and did in her life on earth. Prayers abound
