There is no greater definition of who she was other than mom. Her love, her life and her passion were her children and grandchildren. At the sight of her grandchildren you could always hear her voice soften as she delighted in new members to our family. As her children we will always cherish the memory of her " just the right size nails", that she would brush through our hair like a comb to put us to sleep. If life had a remote we'd rewind to the times she rocked us asleep just to be in her arms one more time. Thank You for the times she was with us god. " We love you Mom".
