Mom was a wonderful role model for her family. Loving, caring, kind, patient, hardworking, and always a host to any guests. No one ever made homemade pumpkin pie or apple dumplings as good as moms. She will be sadly missed by us all but we will carry the memory of her and all the love we shared forever in our hearts.[1]
