Mrs. Durst was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known. We were neighbors in Cross Lanes for several years and we spent many hours visiting and I treasure each conversation that we shared. She was truly a blessing in my life. She made me a couple of ornaments for my Christmas tree and every year when I put them on my tree, (they have a special place) I always smile remembering her sweetness. She will always be in my heart and my life was blessed by knowing her. May God bless all of the family and know she was very loved!
