As Mom's firstborn, I am proud to light this candle, in her honor. I was blessed to have my mother, in my life, for 62 years. She leaves behind 5 adults, that she filled with her strength, fortitude, artistic abilities and caring ways. As the end of Mom's life, unfolded, it was evident as we stood by her bedside, that each of us was becoming stronger. Mom will rest in peace, knowing her family will continue oto honor her life, with faith, love, friendship and hope, until we reach our own eternal reward.
