Our "Auntie Zorro" as she was nicknamed by Kayte 22 years ago. How we will miss her beautiful smile, how she was always there for us, the support she gave us as being our mom and dad's best friend (Bill and Caroline Darnstadt), the wonderful times we spent with her, Uncle Mickey, Mike, Cathy and Mark! The door to her home was always open to us and we always felt loved and wanted. I am thankful for the time I spent sitting next to her in September when she attended Jennifer and Brandon's bridal shower at LaGrange Country Club. To say we will miss her is indeed an understatement.
