Cha Cha will be missed by all who knew her, especialy us in the office for Walker Bros Circus where she made sure that every child got their free tickets on time, but most of all she keep us all hysterical with her stories, and her happy times with all her friends and family.
To a circus fan like myself, who was too young to ever have seen her work, but met her in Walker Bros. Office a couple of years ago, she was and always will be a Superstar in my eyes. She was so wonderful and gracious to an awe-struck "kid" like me. I can hardly believe she is gone; it seems like just yesterday that she was telling me one of the stories of her career. My heart goes out to all of you who knew her well and loved her so much. My condolences as well. And thank you Bill for giving us a forum to express our feelings for this wonderful woman. May she rest in peace and fly over Heaven in joy!
