Dear sweet Princess, my heart is broken that you are gone, but I know you are in a better place. I thank God that you were a part of my life when I was young. You still are the best cook of anyone I have ever known. I’m thankful that in the past few years we would run into each other and visit. My memories of the time we spent together are by far some of my favorites. RIP Princess and I know I will see you again one day. Love you, Kim
My condolences to her family.
