My heart and love go to each of you, I did Fannie's hair for years and would like to let each of you know that she loved you dearly. I'm so honored that she was a part of my life. She was one of the most honest and giving people that I've met, No One Will Ever Make Poticia like she did, oh so good. I always think of the time she had a repair man out to do some work for her, he charged her and didn't do the job, she wrote a letter to him and the worst she could call him was a stinker. I laughed so hard at her. We all need to pattern our lives after her, kindness, always willing to help and hard work never hurt anyone. I recently had knee replacement so I don't feel like taking a chance out on the ice or I'd be there. Love and prayers, Donna
