To sum it up, my mom was perfect. She was such a selfless woman, who gave of herself to everyone, especially her grandchildren, children, and husband. Family was her top priority for all of her life. She made sure everyone's needs were met before hers. She would teach the grandkids to say "I do! I do!!" after she'd ask them "Who loves their Mimi?" She was my best friend, with whom I could freely share my thoughts and feelings with. She understood me and accepted me for who I was. She was a wonderful leader, boss, friend, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. I will miss my mommy dearly everyday. She was always just a phone call away to give me cooking lessons over the phone, rescue me in a time of need, or just chat the afternoon away. She had the brightest smile and the most contagious laughter. I know she has touched many lives for the better. I am honored to be her daughter.
