Such. A sweet Angel !! I miss this lady so much! She was such a pleasure. We laughed so much sometimes we cried. So many stories so many memories I will cherish. She loved asking me what my grandkids did this time and seeing pictures. And saying. Honey I am so glad your back. She also liked teasing me and another friend about who was fav. Secretively I think it was because she got hot cocoa and more visits lol. She was a sly one ... We knew but loved her so much she definitely hates being fussed over but loved to joke.
