Mom lit up a room when she walked in ?with her glitz, glamor and infectious humor??but what lit up her life was the love of her life, ?My sweet Bill?. They adored and enjoyed each other beyond belief. To quote mom, ?working with all the reporters in the newsroom was the greatest experience of my life?. For over 30 years, she worked at the paper and loved every day. A bright light went out here on earth, but her glitz lit up Heaven on that joyful celebration with her sweet Bill and Heavenly Father. Can?t you see those high heels on the streets of gold in Heaven. We?ll forever love and miss you mom and Nini.
