Our time spent together will never be forgotten. She was an amazing woman. Quiet at times and life of the conversation moments later. Her love of her backyard birds, watching for chipmunks and squirrels made her extra special. Sitting on her back deck at the trailer didn't require conversation just being with her was its own kind of beauty and serenity
