Glen Gildemeister and Jamie says
One of my absolute favorite cousins growing up. We only lived five blocks and I loved to visit and listen to her play her accordion out in the backyard in the summer. She was the reincarnation of her wonderful mother, my Aunt Linda, with a fantastic laugh, a love for life and fun all the time. Cannot remember her without a smile. She will be missed by all who knew her: they don’t come any better on this earth. What a blessing she was.
