"If I had a problem needing help of any kind, several special friends were always there: John Tisdale, Joy Butler, Frances Dean, Jack Brown, Paul and Gayle Henry and Robin, Steve and Mary Yee, Robert Pruitt, and Bob Clowers. They were amazing, may God bless them. I can't forget all my precious friends at the Church and the centers, you know who you are! Thank you for your friendship and helping me get through rough times.

In celebration of her life, the family will honor her wishes to have a private service.
