You were one of the most strongest, loving women I have met. Even through all of the struggles and obstacles you had placed in your path you always made the best of it and kept a smile on your face. You raised 3 amazing girls, who are showing the strongest sides through this tragedy. You have left them with the strength and courage to get through this. Just know that they are surrounded by all the many loved ones whose lives you have touched and family who are helping them get through this and will continue to be there when they need us the most. I am going to miss one of the most cherished memories of all us girls during thanksgiving making tamakes, remincing on old times jamming out to music until 2am. And the camping trips, waking up to you making breakfast, it always tastes so much better we both would say. You made me feel as one of the family and not just a sister in-law. The love you had for my kids was like they were your own, from the moment Anthony was born he was like the son you never had, he was your "fat boy"...and he loves you just as much as me and at times a little more. LOL, when he is in trouble and wants to go live with his Auntie. He has lost a part of him with you gone. My heart is broken with Tony not able to be home with all of us and not able to say his goodbyes, I know you can now see him like you always talked about, how much you couldn't wait for him to be home. He is broken too and holding strong. We love you and will always hold a special place for you in our hearts....love always and forever Anjela, Tony, Anthony (your "fat boy"), Alyzea and Alicia Carlson.
