So, so sorry for your loss. Lardy was a gem. We loved her smile, sense of humor and hospitality. We enjoyed hearing her and the Golden Gals sing together. Lardy was always reaching out and saying hello to everyone she meet. I used to get a kick out of her sitting on the floor or ground sometimes to tie her shoes and made it look so easy to get back up as though she was a youngster. She will be deeply missed.
