She was more of a mom to me than my own ever was. I loved her laugh, her joy in life, her zest for fun and play. She was an adventurer always up for new things and experiences. She was always there when someone was in need. Her heart and soul were strong and available to all. I'll miss you forever mom. I'm so glad I had the blessing of knowing you for the time I did. Love Always, Sandy
