Friends she made in school remained companions for the rest of her life, and included Margie Krasin, Sally Siemers, Betty Craft, and Bea Rappe.

After a year of hospitalization, we were told that she would not walk again and would not live a long life. She never accepted either of these prognosis, and regained the ability to walk and ride a bike.
