I send my condolences to a Beautiful Angel's Family. She was always special and respectful and sweet when I waited on her at the Prescription counter at K-Mart. Being a pharmacist there for 15 years till I retired;I always brightened up when Thyra came.
I know that one day we will meet again; and may her family heal and the goodness that she produced follow her to Heaven.
