Her love of music and people will live on in her children, grandchildren, family and friends. She would want everyone to remember that it costs nothing to be kind and to not waste our tears on her. She is where she has always wanted to be since she bowed her head one summer afternoon in 1988. She has fought the good fight and finished her race. To her grandchildren especially, she would want to remind them that they will be together again soon… but hopefully not too soon. To take their time. Continue to be great. She will live on in all of our hearts until it is her turn to greet us.
