I was "J" to KB. We worked together from 2000-2011 at the plant. I served as our Union secretary so we worked closely together. Ironically I had purchased Grandma Browns house while working with her and didn't know until a years later that it was Todd's grandmother. She had a heart of gold and will be missed by many. So sorry for your loss.
