I am so sad today to learn you are no longer with us. Growing up in Lakewood South, you were so often my second mother and a place of comfort. So many of us come to you and you welcomed us all. Your stories were always entertaining and I never doubted your love for all of us. You will be missed but never forgotten. Love always, Dayna Stewart. Love and hugs to Lowell and Josh
