I am so sorry to read this! What a devastating loss to so many who love her dearly! She will always be a wonderful role model as her memories carry on through everyone that knew her. She was the real-life definition of a classy, intelligent, strong woman and anyone that was lucky enough to be influenced by her tireless endurance and love, can't be anything less than grateful. She will be deeply missed, as there isn't a single other person in this world that could come close to filling her shoes, or replacing her. I do know that her essence and spirit will carry on in her amazing children and grandchildren and through them, I hope she lives on forever. Again, I am so sorry to hear of such a devastating loss to such a wonderful family. Please reach out if I can do anything at all to help during this time. I've heard grief defined as, love with no place to go. I don't know if that definition will help at all, but it helped me, so that's why I'm sharing it here. I'm so sorry for your loss.
