I am so saddened to hear of the passing of this beautiful soul who touched so many of our lives here in Pueblo. I knew her best as the mother of my dear friend Shari and her sister Mindy, she loved her family and whenever I ran into her, she would share stories of her grandchildren’s latest adventures and what the family was up to. She was always kind and thoughtful, and will be missed, more than she will ever know. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family and her many friends. May God Bless!
