We would like to celebrate the life of my mom, a woman whose patience, love, and care shaped not only our family, but everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Mom had a heart that was always open. She found joy in giving—whether it was baking and cooking meals that brought us together, planting flowers that brightened the world around her, or finding little things to surprise her friends, family, and grandchildren. She lived her life in constant service of love.

One of her greatest joys was being a grandmother. The bond she had with her grandson was so special—her face would light up whenever he was around, and their time together was filled with laughter, hugs, and unconditional love.

She also treasured her quiet moments—listening to great audiobooks, feeding her mind and imagination, always learning, always growing. But no matter what she was doing, her heart was with her family.

Mom taught us patience through her gentle presence, kindness through her daily actions, and love through the way she lived her life. She didn’t just care for us—she nurtured us, the way she nurtured her flowers, with attention, tenderness, and joy.

Though our hearts ache with her loss, we can carry her spirit forward by living the way she taught us—loving generously, giving selflessly, and appreciating the simple joys of life.

Mom, thank you for every meal you cooked, every story you shared, every hug you gave, and every lesson you taught us. Your love will forever bloom in our hearts, like the flowers you so carefully planted.

We love you, and we will miss you, but your spirit will always live on in us, your family, and especially in your grandson. Rest peacefully, Mom.
