Charlynn “Kacy” loved life, butterflies, the color purple, Nicholas Cage, and dancing. She loved her grandkids! Whenever she could, she traveled to Colorado Springs to see friends, or to the mountains to wade in the creeks, hike the trails, camp, collect the “pretty” rocks and enjoy the beauty of nature. Charlynn “Sunshine” loved to help other people, always taking in the less fortunate and giving them a place to stay, food, or anything else she could help with. She loved meditating by the Platte River behind her home, walking and collecting more “pretty” rocks and checking out the trains as they went by.
