To know her was to love her because of her Effervescent persona that always exudes " I LOVE YOU MORE" With her voicemail messages that may include a song, " I just called to say I love you.  I just called to say how much I care.  I just called to say I love you.  And i mean it from the bottom of my heart."  She was so humble and so sweet with such a welcoming smile....But don't take it for granted.
