      Sorry for your loss of a wonderful woman and a dear friend of mine. She was like my mom. That’s how she treated me and made me feel. I will always miss her and remember her Joy, laughter, wit and wisdom that She gave to all around her. Sometimes even when you didn’t want it,but deserved it. And needed it. You who truly new and loved her know what I’m talking about. She was down to earth with her knowledge for problems to come. She of course had seen it before. For her many years of being a bartender an owner of Ardie’s and Tiny’s bar. Already I will miss your smile and hope everyone stays out of trouble. Love and peace be with you all and know that she did also. Your friend, Russell G.Jacobs
