What a great picture! I know everyone who will respond will have nothing but beautiful things to say about her. She will be missed but she will always be part of many fond memories and experiences. She lived life and participated and gave. She was by no means a bystander and her faith was unwavering. I am so happy I was able to spend the time with her that I was given. Also, I keep thinking how ecstatic she must be to be with her Mom (everyone else also, as many loved ones have gone before her, but especially her Mom). I will still chat with you, Gail! Love you – Cookie
