This world has lost a very unique person. From my first meeting with her I knew she was special. She had a way about her that spoke of gentleness and kindness that has stayed with her all her life.
I know she will be missed, but her memory will live in all of our hearts.
Our prayers are with you Dave, and family during this sorrowful time. May God bless and shield you with his love and peace now and in days to come.
