Please know that I am Thinking of You All at this time, May Your Memories Bring you Comfort. Death leaves a heartache, No one can heal; Love leaves a memory, No one can steal. Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. She was a Great Person and a Dear Friend to me & my Bill, she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Still miss the Great Times we all had when I lived at Boom Bay..
With Deepest Sympathy. Love Darlene
