From the Commerical Vehicle Group AP team: A piece of our hearts will be warmed knowing she is in a good place, but also we will feel sad. We were the lucky ones to be allowed to spend time with her.

Thank you, Brian. She enjoyed her job at CVG very much.
Oh the things I could write… So many things to laugh about like our song; “Disappointment Heartache, Come on Baby Don’t be late”. The time Delaware cops took you to jail and I was at the bottom of the stairs trying to talk to you while you were upstairs in a cell. The few times I got grounded because momna Grace was going to tell my mom if I didn’t. Living accross the square from you. I’m going to miss Happy Coloring with you. ‘Keep Dancing In The Sky’ girlfriend.
