Queena was a very special lady. She married my cousin, Don (Butch) and was always loved by the family. Sweet and kind. A beautiful person. She will be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Queena at the Cisne Key Market. She is the reason that I met my husband in 1993. I always tell everyone that if she hadn't told Shannon to ask me out he probably would have never worked up the nerve. She was a very loving, caring, and generous person and will be forever missed. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
