I never had the honor of knowing you, yet I feel I did. You see your daughter shared pictures, stories and special memories with us. I know you had to have been an intelligent, loving and wonderful woman. Because you raised a daughter who is all of those things. May you rest in peace with the love of your life. God Bless. <3
