Mom to me.. 

Mom was my Yatzee partner. I loved hanging out with her in the patio playing Yatzee and drinking our coffee together.  
 She was my techy mom, who was learning how to use a tablet.  I was so impressed at how she learned to install the microchip to watch her movies.  And, every couple of weeks I would get a call “I need more moves”.  I loved that she was enjoying her tablet watching her crime movies and Denzel Washington, her most requested movie star. 

Mom was a sport buff and loved her 49ers!, and to my surprise even enjoyed golf.  In her early days she loved bowling, bowling and more bowling and she was good at it too. She would throw a 14lb bowling ball down the lanes at record speed.  When she retired from bowling she gave me her “beloved bowling ball” which I am forever thankful and will be reminded of her when I throw her ball down the lanes.   

Mom was also a bragger.. about her children and grandchildren.  She was a social butterfly and jokester at Lancaster Healthcare Center and loved her Bingo time with friends.  She was a caregiver, most days she went about her day checking up on others making sure they were doing okay and that they were doing what they were supposed to be doing.  She wasn’t shy about telling you what she thought.  When I would push mom down the hall in her wheelchair, she knew everyone’s name and would wave and say hi to all her buddies.  She was an activist when she organized meetings in LHCC to fight for better service and food for all the residence.  She was a good friend to many and was loved by many abroad.  The nurses called her “Queen Bee”.. She was special, outgoing, caring, giving, and a little stubborn at times, but she loved life and had a giant heart.  She was a great Mom and so much more to me and I will miss her dearly.     

With all my love, 
Monica
