One person who touched so many people. A natural born leader. A woman walked with dignity and gained the respect of so many. This person was my mother, my mentor, my cheerleader, my confidant, my listener, my babysitter and husband sitter. My life revolved around her. I also always there for her, through her celebrations and surgeries, and had the privilege of witnessing her last breath. My life will never be the same. Her presence has illuminated my life and the life of my children forever.
