I will never forget the hours Ronni, Rodney, Danny, Tracy & I spent at your house. The hours playing pool. You were such a blessing to us in our teenage years. Looking out for us, giving us a safe place to hang out. You really were the sweetest neighborhood mom. You will be missed. Thank you for the love you showed us. It will never be forgotten. Rest in peace beautiful lady.
