She is best known for her "Resurrection Scene" which she eagerly shared with many new and old friends alike. What will be missed is the sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes, her wonderful smile and charming wit and ever-loving spirit. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
