Although I was at Oxford only 1-1/2 years, I do remember her and remember her frailty and difficulty breathing. I remember that she moved to Arizona very early in our young adult years, presumably to find a climate that was easier for her. I enjoyed reading the memories of her that others have posted.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Carol K <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 21, 2018, at 3:39 PM, <a href="mailto:oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com" class="">oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Sandy, what a beautiful tribute!<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Betsy<br class=""><br class=""><div class="">Sent from my iPhone</div><div class=""><br class="">On Sep 21, 2018, at 1:03 PM, <a href="mailto:oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com" class="">oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com</a> wrote:<br class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class="">Thank you Claudia.
