Our Mother was one of those special people who touched the lives of those who knew her in a deep and lasting way. Her kind and giving manner was equaled only by her legendary sense of humor. She was quick to make friends, always seemed to be having the most fun, never spoke badly of anyone, and loved her family dearly. The joy in her laugh, the warmth of her smile and the compassion of her embrace will live in our hearts forever.
