August 25, 2012

My mother was an amazing gracious woman. She had an amazing memory and clear mind to the end. She had many, many wonderful, faithful friends and no one was a stranger. She loved being able to help her friends in need. I always told her she was a living Florence Nightingale. She was a loving mother and grandmother and I was privileged to be her daughter and to be able to return the loving care to her in her years of need. She left this world with dignity and grace and will be forever missed. I love you mother and think of you every day.
