I was 14 when I came into her family, she always treated me as if I were her daughter. Right from the get go she became the mom I desperately needed! She touched my life in every way she could. She always had a smile 😃 she was always strong/ positive about life, even when things didn’t work out like they were planned. She never wavered from who she was. Always the bright light at the end of the tunnel! Ready to help no matter who needed it. Loving everyone was easy for her, she had such a big heart. I am so greatful that she was in my life or I was in hers really,.. as many children-grandchildren great grandchildren she had that was her blood, there was even more that wasn’t hers, she helped and had a huge impact on their life. I feel so very blessed to have had her in my life for the last 41 years! I will miss her so much! Love you mom, don’t know who I would be today had you not been in my life! And I know that the shadow in my sunset pictures when I was telling you goodbye was you I felt you all around me. You appeared when I started talking to you and when I was done you had gone.. love and miss you forever at the same time you are safely tucked in my heart.. Peggy
