She will be missed and was a loveable favorite of mine when I was a child and youth growing up. May the Lord be with her and her family.

So sorry to hear about her passing. I met her years and years ago when her husband at the time was in teh same hospital room as my father. We have lost a truly BEAUTIFUL and GENUINE person. I remember she brought my nieces - who were very young at the time.....REAL FEATHERS FROM BIG BIRD! God Bless her and her family!
