She was always there to listen and give advice to family members to help them with their life challenges. Her smile was comforting to everyone she came in contact with, and everyone loved her happy laugh. Her grandson J J brought special happiness to her life. She had a special fondness for daisies, ladybugs, butterflies, buttons and marbles. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
