MaMa as she was affectionately known to us was one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of knowing. She was a neighborhood mom to whomever she met. She didn't judge but she would let you know if you were out of line. Even then she made you feel special. I will forever cherish those fond memories of MaMa
