So very sorry for your loss Lou. She was such a beautiful woman and caring person. She had such a beautiful smile all the time. I never knew what she did but I’m sure she was a great teacher to her students. God bless you all. Another angel watching over you. I’m sure she’s in Gods hands. Love & prayers to you all.

I lost a dearly beloved cousin but the world lost and earthly angel. Her radiant smile & outreaching ways to make everyone comfortable & loved will be a fraction of her legacy. I’ll miss your wink of an eye that assured me that we were true kin folk.
