To her many long-time friends and loving family she leaves the request: When I am gone, cry for me a little, think of me sometimes. Think of the good times we shared. It is not good to allow thoughts to dwell on the dead. Leave me in peace- while you live, and let your thoughts be with the living. I will miss you all and love you all. Keep me in your hearts. I loved my family with all my heart. I was always a people person. Friends and family may visit the Eggleston Meinert Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S.
