Mom was a saint to us and will be deeply missed by many friends and family. She was the bond that held us all together treasuring family vacations including memorable cruises. She explored the country side and nature by gathering seedlings for her garden; stopping for ice cream and finding memorable trinkets with her girls. She enjoyed lake side picnics, reminiscing her childhood and treasuring playful time with her family.
