Taped to her computer desk was the following quote, “Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” - Unknown
Her family and friends alike wish her a continued journey of wide eyed amazement, and progressive and open minded education.
