Oh man I’m going to miss her so much, we had such fun phone conversations. She was my husband Charlie’s cousin, but she felt like mine too. She once came with us and our 3 kids in a big Dodge van, all the way from Illinois to California, and was such a sweetheart and a big help. There was this mean rooster on the farm and she was the only one brave enough to pick it up. Such a lovely, kind person she was, and will never be forgotten. I loved her so very much and life is going to be a lot less fun without her. But the memories of her are great.
