Mom, Grandma, GreatGrandma, Aunt Jeanne, my dear friend Jeanne, however you knew her, you know how very above and beyond special she was. Mom was blessed with the kindest heart and the wisest mind, which she shared openly and easily. Since I was little, I always believed - if everyone lived their life the way Mom lived her's, there would be no war, no hungry, no homeless. She truly lived her life in a close walk with God, living as He asked us to, loving all, caring for those in need, always more mindful of others than she was of herself. She taught my sister, my brothers and myself all we know about human kindness and that our purpose here was not about ourselves, that we are here to do all we can to make this a better place. That's how she lived, bringing love and help, comfort and great joy to everyone who was blessed to know her or cross her path in this life. She will be sorely missed. May we all absorb some of her spirit as we go forward from here, and try to live our lives as beautifully as she lived hers. God has blessed us all. - Mary
