She was my teacher and she was one who really made me realize that being different is fine and that I do matter.

"Boogle" had one of the sweetest personalities and smiles. I was fortunate to play golf with her as a partner at the Golden Girls tournament last year. We had a lot of fun and many laughs. I'm so glad I had that great opportunity and will remember it with fondness.
