What we loved most about our mother was that she was very loving and caring. Not only did she care about her family, but she also cared for others as well. She would take in other children and raise them as if they were her on. 

After working the long late night shifts, she would come home before resting and prepare a big meal which we all would welcome and enjoy. 

Mom instilled that same passion in her girls and they are carrying that compassionate torch in them this very day.

We miss you and we love you...The Family.
