Favorite line of hers: "when Arlo gets home, he's going to make what Raylan did to your knee seem like a handjob from an angel."

That’s such a shame. One of my very favorite characters on one of my very favorite shows.

A sad passing indeed….worth also mentioning, sad passing in the series as well. Hated her ending.

One of very few characters that passed that made me tear up. She was such a great character and how she put up with Arlo's shit all those years (feel like she did part of that just to take care of Rayland) I'll never know.
