    Words simply can’t describe the extreme sadness we feel for the loss of our dear friend and neighbor. She showed us how to stay strong and gracefully face life challenges. We will miss her daily. Our love and support go out to her girls and family. Let us all find comfort in knowing that she remains close in our heart and memories.
