Our friend

Our wonderful friend Ione Pack passed away February 19th. Ione opend her heart to Stephanie, Savanna, and I. She let us rent part of her home and gave us a place to live for the last year and three months. What a wonderful woman. Even though our ages are far apart, our friendship was very close. Steph and I looked forward to getting home and going down stairs to have talks, get advice and just feel at home and cared for. We moved in to have a place to live and help Ione in her old age. Ione has helped us more than she will ever know.
