You were such a big part of my life; my whole childhood was consumed by you. I will always remember your sweet beautiful chuckle and the way your eyes would light up when you laughed. You always had such a positive outlook on life even when it got hard. You were, are and always will be the matriarch of this family and the glue that kept it together. You were the voice of reason when no one else was and the shoulder to cry on when there was no one to listen. You have touched and blessed so many lives and anyone who had the pleasure of meeting you will be forever blessed. You leave behind a legacy that will stay with your six precious children, your step-children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren. You have taught us all how to love better, laugh easier, cry harder, and smile wider. You will always be in my heart. I will love you forever and always.
