For my mom, babies and children were the greatest joy of her life. Her smile was like that of a child having the best day ay Disneyland. Although she may have appeared frail and fragile, she was the strongest person I have ever known. She will be missed by all and I am sad but also happy that she has found peace. Love, Shane
