Mom spent her last hours surrounded by her family and passed away early on the morning of March 14, 2013. She will be remembered by all that she touched throughout her life. She was artistic, creative, compassionate, talented, hard-working, intelligent and beautiful. She had a full time job raising seven kids and was oncall 24/7. As time moved on, her children as adults eventually became her caregiver. The love she gave and received was always there and always will be.
