I will miss my sister-friend. We were immediately connected upon meeting at work over 20 yrs ago . Her laughter and her bountiful curls will always be missed. I lover her so much and am devastated that we all lost her but know she is in heaven with all the dogs, horses and kittens as their godmother. My love goes out to Roy and his family.
