Tenaciously stubborn she was, always preferring the comforts of her home and the simplicity of marathon watching all the mysteries and crime dramas that Lifetime had to offer - obviously accompanied with a sweet treat to munch on. But despite the little incentives she'd give herself, there was no greater pleasure and mission in her life than to serve her loved ones... no matter the sacrifice. More than a service, she was a dedication, a gift to everyone around her. She didn't need life. Life needed her. And the impact she catalyzed within all the hearts she touched will carry her memory endlessly.
