    We were blessed to have lived next to this amazing awesome lady. Not sure how this world will ever be the same without her. I had just learned of her passing. She was such a loving, sweet and caring woman. I know that she has touched our lives with her presence she will be truly missed. We loved and cared so deeply for her.
