It's so sad to hear that Starr has passed. We worked together at Voya for many years. She was so smart, so feisty and had a big heart. She was always leading some holiday gift giving or planning her next vacation adventure. Always full of life. I send condolences, love and wishes for healing thoughts for all of Starr's family & friends.
