My prayers and condolences to family and friends.
She was always happy and smiling whenever I would see her. She always made sure to say hi to me when she ran into me no matter where we were. R.I.P, I will miss seeing her sitting on her steps of her house everytime I went to uptown restaurant and parked in the rear lot.
