Her greatest joys were her family and her friends. She lived that devotion every day. She cherished each relationship and brightened our lives with her sense of adventure, fast wit, and beautiful spirit. Her life was of compassion, and love. She loved us dearly as we loved her. How blessed we are to call her Mother, Grandma and Friend.
