What an amazing woman she was. I don't think there was a mean bone in her body. Rest in peace and say hello to Peter and Billy for me.

I didn't know her that well, met her once. Her daughter Martha I know well. When she turned 80 years old I send her a card she was happy as she sent me a thank you. I would try to send one every major year like her 85 age & 90 & 100 yrs old. She was grateful so made me feel good.
