herself first, giving, caring and doing from her heart to and for everyone. 
One of her favorite things to do for years was keep an extensive everyday 
journal of activities and thoughts of her family. She loved her puzzles, 
crocheting, making cookies for the water company boys and everyone, knick-
knacks that were unique, pictures, happy face collection, humorous newsprints, 
flowers, her Cadillacs, starting with a 1957 to her 1989. She loved taking her 
morning walks, talking to neighbors and friends, she had endless joys in her 
life, her most treasured joy was her husband, John. Our hearts will always 
remember all those precious moments when a mothers love makes all the 
difference. The world has truly lost a precious beautiful warm, kindhearted 
lady. youll be forever missed, loved and adored in our hearts and thought 
about each and every day in everything we do until each and every one of us 
joins you in Heaven.
