We loved her so much. She was always so good to me from the the time I was a tiny child your mom and dad always treated me so special and always took the time to talk to me. They were very wonderful people. Even after I got married she would always take the time to call and let me know when something important had happened or was about to happen I always felt very close to her. She has always been one of my favorites. I will never forget her contagious laugh - it would make everyone feel like laughing with her. I am so sorry we couldn't attend the services, we had no idea. We were on vacation and didn't know anything until we got home on 3/5/08. We are so sorry for your loss.
