She could light up the world with her beautiful blue eyes and her contagious laughter would fill your heart on even the darkest days. She loved deeply and you knew it just by the touch of her hand, the sound of her voice and the hug she would wrap you in until you felt safe.
As she would look out on to the horizon of the ocean you could see the trouble in her eyes, but when she reached for my hand ,all her troubles went away as did mine, and we became one with our hearts and the open sea.
She loved to shop and spoil her daughter and grandkids. They enjoyed lunches, and laughing at cocoas, they loved talking to Joan rivers and ordering things from QVC. She loved gardening and the outdoors.. she had a passion for rocks,and that will carry on. She loved to read anything and everything and she loved to correct your grammar.. She didn't pay mind to what anyone said, she did what she wanted, how she wanted and when she wanted, she did it her way.
One of many of her awesome qualities that made her who she was. She loved unconditionally and we love her unconditionally too. She taught us that.
She is loved, she is cherished and she is remembered.
We will hold her in our hearts until she can hold us in Heaven,
She is not gone, for she walks beside us every day.
Words can't describe the feeling from what has happened but I do know the Seven of Swords is on our side. Loyalty will never die .
