Oh my, Russell…I was working out of town and just found out about this…I am so sorry. She was a really good friend even though I didn’t talk to her every day. I just came by a few weeks ago. I will miss her very much. I have several plants she gave to me when she started giving up doing yard work….this just breaks my heart.
