My memory of a wonderful and thoughtful woman:
Vella and Cole came for breakfast one Sunday morning, she noticed I didn't have a TV in my bedroom, so she sent me one from the kindness of her heart. After we had breakfast I was going back and forth picking up dishes and cleaning when she said to me the dishes will be there later, were here now, sit down and visit with us these words will be with me for the rest of my life and I thank her for teaching this life lesson.
My thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to my dearest friend Cole and his family.
