Sometimes children can be so blessed to be born to a mother so wonderful, so beautiful, and so kind, that it takes them to adulthood to realize what a special mother she was. She taught us to walk, to talk, to respect others and to believe in ourselves. We have such warm and sweet memories that she gave us and left us with. We will always cherish those. We know that her sun has set here on earth and she is in Heaven where she shines brightly at God's side. Her family and friends are so fortunate to have her warmth that continues to linger on.
