For over 43 years she has been my special neighbor. She was the most generous person I know, the best cook in the world, a hard worker and the life of the party. She cared about everyone and never met a stranger. She was always up on the latest fashions. Her family was her greatest joy. Her sole goal was to be with them, provide for them, make them happy and love them. A close 2nd after her family was all the cars she owned. One of the hardest things she had to do was give up driving. I may not be able to borrow an egg, talk about the people we worked for, discuss the Mountaineers, the Pirates or the Steelers but I can be happy she has new wings and once again the life of the party. This barely sums up the person she was and we know the mold was broken the day she was born. One-in-a-million!
