So sorry for your family's loss....she sounds like an amazing mom, grandmother and advocate for Children's Hospital. I would have loved to have met her. I will be thinking of your family on Tuesday when you pay tribute to her, share stories and celebrate her life. Take care off each other...Deidre Dalisky
