I will miss oour phone calls and our adventures since we were "kids". You were the hardest worker and a great Mom. Loved your children beyond measur. You taught them well to love, care and support each other and their dreams and were over the top proud of every achievement they made. You taught your children that family is important. We could tell each other the good times and the things we were tested with. You lived your best life and the we were all blessed to have you. Rest in eternal glory...we will all see each other again.
