This family are the most wonderful people I ever had the opportunity to know in my entire life. This world was a better place with her in it. I’m deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I know her memory and legacy will be carried on by her wonderful daughters and her husband and great father, Bob. I’m so sorry for your loss, you guys. Words can’t describe how I feel for your family right now. My prayers and thoughts are most definitely with you all.
