Holley, NY Wednesday, November 22, 2017 Effie was one of the sweetest ladies I have known. I missed her so much after moving to New York. Our phone calls were a great way to catch up, but I missed stopping by just to chat and talk quilting. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. A fellow quilter.Rochelle
