Oct 19, 2023Thank-you Dick; I did see quite a few RSVP’s on the Facebook invitation, but it said from 12-5, which I thought was a little long…. so glad someone is doing something, as I’ve been disappointed to see no obituary in either the Herald or the Daily, (other than an article, but no obit). She needs to be honored and recognized in this community.
