    There is no long story. But we became friends from the time I moved in. We had lots of fun crocheting and doing crafts together . I wont forget the times I had to rip out lots of my crocheting to get it right cause you had found where I had made a mistake. It was important to you that it was done right. You did alot of special crocheting for friends here to be given to their family members.So appreciated and a beautiful piece of work you always did.
    You inspired people to try and do what ever they didnt think they could do. I well remember that for sure. And in the end.. I could do it just like YOU SAID I COULD.

    I hope you are sing with the angels you loved.

    Hugs… Carol
