My heart goes out to the family during this time of sorrow. Echo was a dear friend of my mother, Theresa Krasyk, who worked with her in the Auditor’s office. They kept each other moving even after retirement.
The heavens have gained another Star. She will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry. I got to know Echo at MeadowBrook Acres as she was in the room with my mom Marian. I would always talk to her and I loved to see her eyes light up! She will be missed….
