Mom was such a fun and dedicated mother. She loved her eight children and enjoyed the time she spent with them. She also loved her role as a grandmother and great grandmother. She was vivacious, smart, loving, and giving. We absolutely loved her and we know that she absolutely loved us. We miss her already.
