She was always fun to be around and up for any adventure. She loved going out on “Trouble” with Bob on the Rio Grande Railroad. She had a huge imagination and was a gifted poet. She told many stories about growing up in the Henry Mountains. Her laugh was contagious, her energy endless and her compassion never-ending.
