While it has been several years since I’ve seen Mrs Pletcher in person, she crosses my mind often. She was one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever had the privledge to know. Her warmth and light filled any room she was in and that warmth and light remains in every single person she touched. I am so sorry for your loss Pletcher family. Know I am thinking of each of you and sending you love. And we know Coach was waiting to welcome her home to heaven.
