Dear Craig: I knew you many years ago at SMHS. However, I was more connected to your wonderful Mom through the game of bridge. What a great lady she was. I always called her “Feisty” because I thought she was so interesting and on-the-go. Here stories about her travels and the volunteer work she did made me tired to think about! She had a ton of energy during those days. We truly missed her after her bridge days came to an end. I was so saddened to learn today that she had died. However, just her memory made me smile. I hope you and your family find peace and joy in this holiday season by remembering my friend, Feisty. I will. Maribeth Taylor Ransel
