    My heart is with all of you! I can’t imagine the loss. I will always treasure the childhood memories of roller skating all through the neighborhood. Driving around town while in high school. And those wonderful Tri Phi college days. I was so blessed to have her stand up for me in my wedding. She will be so missed. I am sending all of you much love during this time.
