Christy and Family,
We are so sorry about your loss. She was one of the nicest lady we know. We enjoy playing cards with her at the Senior Center. We never seen her get angry. She was so cute. When you played a high card and she had to pay a point on it, she would stop and say, “why did your do that and laugh”, then play her card with a smile. She will be missed by many. Prayers are with you and your family.
