"Meta and  I grew up together and spent many hours riding our  ponies and then horses together. She would say that I was the sister that she didn't have. I will miss her and all of her emails. She was a dear friend .  My sympathies go out to Jeff as he was always there for her and when we visited always made us feel at home. She wrote a article for Country Magazine about us that I will keep forever.  I know she is at peace now . Love you, Meta                                                              "
