My mom was an amazing woman. She was a Mimi to ever child she met. She loved everyone unconditionally and made a daily practice of forgiveness holding no grudges. To her dying day, she was still close with friends she's had for over 40 years. She's invested so much of her life in making people feel loved. With her custom birthday cards, her gifts that were so specific to the need and likes of someone, she tapped into your heart and simply never let go.

She will be missed. And not just a longing-type, but she's leaving an incredible vacancy on this earth. My hope is her spirit resides in those she touched and that it miraculously multiplies in others like loaves and fishes. She will not be just a memory but a part of who we are moving forward.

Thank you to those that never gave up on her. Thank you to those that cared for her in times of need. Thank you for those that loved her and saw the wonderful woman she was. Because of you, she died peacefully. She died feeling loved.
