Dear Pat and Rasha, I just found out today and thought this can't be true. She was the most awesome, giving, smiley person I knew! I loved spending time with her with our Girl Scout Troops. She was so creative and resourceful. Yup! I can hear her laughing at me for saying this because she always thought what she did was so small but she did sooo much for those she knew and people she just met. If there was a way she could help someone, she did. I was very lucky to have called her my friend. She has shown God's grace to everyone and I know she is watching over you guys. She would probably say, "HAH! Now you can't get away with ANYTHING!" :) God Bless and if you need anything, PLEASE let us know.
