She can now visit endlessly with her family, especially her husband, parents, son and daughter. She recently turned 88 years old and celebrated her birthday with her children, grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. One of her greatest attributes was the love she shared with her children. She loved them more than anything, and would do whatever it took to please them. She was gentle and kind and lived life to the fullest. She loved sharing time with her family and she especially enjoyed visiting, laughing and talking to her children who visited her often. Mom, we love you more than life itself. We will cherish all the wonderful memories we have with you for the rest of our lives. Thank you for teaching us kindness, compassion and for having a lot of patience in this life. Thank you also for all the love and support you have shown us throughout our lives. You are the most wonderful person we have ever known and you will be greatly missed by those you left behind. Wait and watch for us; we will see you again soon.
