Eleven months ago, our mother began a journey that changed her life and ours as well…..She would never be able to walk or talk again, but she continued to touch our lives and bless us every day with her presence. She was a constant source of joy and overwhelming love in our lives. On May 9, God ended her journey and lifted her up into the open arms of our father and sister waiting in heaven. Our mother touched so many lives and left a mark on so many hearts.
We will miss her so much, but know she is home now walking the streets of gold and is happy. She will always be the wind beneath our wings. Mom we love you always.
