I loved Hallie. We have history together mainly from living in the same Farmhouse with her and Vaughn for a few years. Larry and I were separated from their half of the house with a large piece of cardboard covering a doorway, so we knew each other pretty well and heard everything anyone said on either side! They were so funny and so much fun to live by. I learned to love Hallie and her funny personality and her positive attitude about life. After Vaughn died, everyone was worried about her living alone, but she picked her self up, straightened her ponytail, put on a smile and flew!. She loved to talk for hours but she was also a good listener. She loved movies and could take any tease that Larry could dish out. She was and is loved by many as seen at her funeral. The chapel was filled and then went back to the stage in the gym. She will be missed by many.
