I have had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful woman. Her daughter Jane and I have been friends for years . Her mother and her had such a wonderful relationship. A family relationship that anyone who had the good fortune to see would say I wish I could be a part of that family. No matter how long it had been since you had seen her she would welcome you with open arms and act like it was just yesterday when you saw her last. May she rest in peace and I send my thoughts and prayers to the family. Gloria Darling
