My mother had an abundant and wealthy life; not with money but with people and relationships. She cared deeply about every person she encountered, always wanting to boost them up and help them see (and be) the best in themselves.

Everyone my mom cared for and who cared for her made her life rich indeed. She would want us to laugh and celebrate and be the best we can, even while we miss her and find it hard to face this new reality without her here to talk to and to touch, hug, joke around with, etc.

When asked how she is faring, she would (almost) ALWAYS say, she is "spiritual and unconventional" and while she was always quick to joke, she made it clear that she navigated life with a deep faith and no fear of death.

On behalf of my beloved mother (and 2nd "Mom" to all her grandchildren), please love and forgive your self, we thank you for loving her and helping her fulfill her life's purpose, and as she used to say (from Dory of "Finding Nemo") "Keep Swimming!"
