Stacy, Kelly, Tonni and families: Your mother was one of the most beautiful people that I knew from the inside out! She was always so happy and friendly. She loved and talked of each one of you all of the time, she was so proud of you all. My fondest memories are of her playing in the bridge tournament and especially this year. She was in the hospital, but the day she got out, we played and she never let on that she was not feeling good. Still playing the skilled bridge that she always did. She was a person that thought of others before herself, like the year she played with her partner so she wouldn't hurt her feelings and knew that they would not stand a chance of winning. They were friends and she didn't want to let her down even if her partner could not remember what was going on. What a testament to her character! She will be missed by so many, but we all have such great and fond memories of her! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow and in the months to come.
