After knowing her for a short 10 years I can say that I understood her as a woman, wife and mother and had a great respect for her being ahead of her time and having a thirst for knowledge. I thank her for the great job she has done raising her boys to be productive, sensitive, kind and loving men. She was a great lady!

Even though I only met her once, I still remember the smile. May she rest in peace.
