Our mother was 98 years old – almost reaching her goal of becoming 100 years old. She led a Blessed life, totally dedicated to her faith in God and her loving family; she has made an everlasting footprint in all our lives. She will forever be remembered for her loving personality, generosity, wittiness, and yes – stubbornness. She was the glue that connected this family.
