I am shocked and very saddened to hear of the loss of this lovely lady. We worked together so many years ago. In the recent years we had a special thing we did whenever we ran into each other. We would stop in our tracks, give each other a big hug and most of the time just say nothing and carry on walking. People around us would wonder what that was about and only the two of us knew that it was our private little thing we did together. I'm going to miss that and her smiling face. My condolences to her family. Joanne - Posted by: Joanne Nikkel (Co-worker-Friend) on: Feb 20, 2020
