Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the rest of the family and friends. She was such a dynamic woman. A life well lived. We have so many wonderful memories with her. The time you and Carol came to Germany to visit us while we were stationed there. All the great times at the beach house at Narragansett. We could go on and on. Thank you for being you! We miss you and love you! In our hearts forever. Joanne and Larry Jones
