I lived next to the family on Walnut. I was only seven at the time, but I remember being very shocked to hear someone had died so close to home. It's late here in the UK where I live now, but I remembered her, and I had to look her up, to know her name. To her family: please know, people still think of her. She is still remembered. Even by those of us who did not know her. I hope the years since have helped heal, and I wish you all love and light.
