Mom is all about love, she would like to talk to anybody - anytime. She always made everything fun and loved jokes (but could never tell them right) She was very polite and caring - even the nurses that would take her blood said she always said "Thank you". She taught us to love others (Hugs and Kisses all of the time), to do right to others, not to steal or to lie. She loved to write people and kept in touch with so many people all over the country. With Mom you always felt loved. We know you are in a better place and we will miss you here on earth.
