This is a sad day for all of us, especially the ones who were very close to her. Who am I kidding we were all close to her. She was a mother, wife, family member, sibling, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, and a daughter. In my memories she was always trying to give me little trinkets. Stamps, stickers, crafts, note pads, paper, you name it. Every visit I would come home with a bag full of stuff. It's the memories that we can hold on to and cherish.
