Survived By: her parents (see gravesite info)

She was a student in our 1975 class at Arlington Heights Elementary. I remember being in 3rd grade praying for her as she was at Hope Haven Children's Hospital with spinal meningitis (parents described as very, very serious bad headache). When we went to school the next day, we learned she'd passed away in the night from a 'brain hemorrhage.' I remember she had dark hair, often worn in a pony tail, and very fair skin. She was just one of our classmates. She lived on Pine Summit (west of Rogero) near Patsy Latimer, and I think was an only child. I imagine many of our Arlington Heights classmates may remember that or could add more information. I think she should be remembered along with any others who may have preceded us in death before life at TP.
