What a blessing it was to have the opportunity to get to know Ms. Tsalapatanis. Although I only saw her a few times, she was always a joy to be around. We will miss seeing her at our office.
Condolences to her family in Evansville, Dave and Tina. The love and care they showed Ms. Tsalapatanis left a last impression on me. I know she will be greatly missed.
