My mom was an ambitious, intelligent and gracious woman who accentuated the positive in all things and made people feel  comfortable with themselves.

 I wish I could have spent more time with her upon learning of her terminal condition. I miss her very much, and feel so badly about how unexpectedly soon she passed away.  I believe she is now in a beautiful and painless place.  My deepest condolences go out to my aunt and uncle, Karen and Bill, and to my mother's close friends.  -Evelyn
