Missing her already. Monday night I saw her at a board meeting. She would not let me drive her home! I need the exercise she said. I admired her positive outlook while waiting for her transplant. Loved her!
I miss her dearly. She was the first person to welcome my mom, niece and myself to Fenton. She was an amazing woman and friend. She always had a smile on her face when I seen her. I’m just so sorry I didn’t get the chance to see her before her passing. She was so welcoming to my family especially my cousins Tom and John. On behalf of myself and my family the Calbys I want to extend my condolences to her family especially her brother Ronnie. I will keep you all in my heart and prayers.
