I will never forget her gracious hospitality, warm smile, genuine ways and caring demeanor on our visits. She obviously loved her family dearly and it was a pleasure to be a witness to how she showed all of you that care, kindness and love. You were all so lucky to know her and have her to call mom, grandma, sister and friend.
