We are saddened but inspired as well. Our favorite memory. I was having a bad day and talking to her about losing a husband she had for so many years. I asked "how do you cope with depression?" She looked at me kind of surprised at the question. Then she replied "by keeping active and busy". She spoke of her beautiful garden. I know she is working on her heavenly garden. We will miss her. John and Roxanne Shea
