She had a very special soul and treated everyone she met with the same loving compassion as she had for her own family and friends my mom was accepting, loving, kindhearted, compassionate and never passed judgment no matter what may have done or what mistakes were made. In fact I think those things only made her heart larger by loving harder. Because you knew my mother and she touched you in a very special way what I ask and she would never ask for anything so I will is to honor her by carrying on her spirit, her forgiveness, her love, her compassion and thoughtfulness for others throughout your actions everyday. Help a stranger, friend or loved one, extend a hand, love harder and with more compassion and appreciate what you have right in front of you. My mothers greatest attribute was her selflessness as she thought of others before herself. Through you she will live on, touch others the way she touched each and everyone of you.

My beautiful grandmother, I will miss you more than I could ever put in words. Although I can never again see your infectious smile, you've left me with years of memories and have taught me lessons about life that I will pass on to my children. I hope you know how much you are loved. May you rest in God's arms. I love you.
Forever your grandson,
