I was so saddened and shocked to hear of Star's passing. I'm an old friend from childhood days when she lived in Mulliken. She was a nice person, and I'm sad that she was taken so early in life. I get the impression she was sick for a while. May she rest at peace now. Prayers and thoughts to your family.

Shawn- Your family is my thoughts and prayers. Please know everyone at the Lab adored your mom! She put up a heck of a fight. Prayers and thoughts sent your way. Find comfort in the memories and that there is no sickness or pain in heaven.

Thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. She was such a special person and I feel so blessed to have known her. She loved her family and would do anything for anyone, and I will never forget her sence of humor. She definitly has touched so many peoples lives and she will be greatly missed.
