  5. What a treasure of a person to enter my life. I will always remember her kindness/friendship and love. Had a voice that could compete with the birds. Children flocked to her. What a gift! I am so glad that God allowed us to have our relationship here on the Billy Cove. You will be missed, my friend. I love each of her off spring. I am so sorry for what each of you feel but always remember, she was a treasure and she was yours!
