Mama was such a gracious, unconditional-loving, encouraging and funny lady and she will be missed greatly. Through the years when people in general would talk about their mother-in-laws in not such a positive way, every single time I could proudly say that I had the best "mama-in-law" in the world and couldn't even comprehend what they were talking about. She lovingly accepted me into the family right away with open arms to the point that I felt as if I was always one of her kids. May we all honor this family matriarch's life as she lived - "living simply, laughing often, and loving deeply".
