Hey pretty girl, I have been so Blessed to work with you these last years and felt like our friendship was growing. You always had a smile on your face and was always right there to help out anyone that needed it. Who am I going to hide out with when they come to draft for OT..it was me and you at the bottom of the list! I miss you girl but God called you Home..I pray we see each other again some day. Prayers and my deepest condolances to the family
