Condolence: It 2 days shy of the day mom went to heaven. She was a fighter. Never think her weaknesses in your eyes defeated her. She gave up many things and opportunities in her life to keep us together. The saying goes you have to lose some battles to win the war. My mom had kids around her, her entire life. And as we got older, she loved and or lived for the babies. She had a short fuse but she wouldn't have traded any of it. Mom was souley happy to give what ever she had to anyone who needed it. And she loved having little pretties to give to the kids. It made her happy to see them get excited.Mom fought hard this last year, she knew she was sick. She did live past the 6 months the doctors gave her in May 2016. Which did not surprise me or anyone else for that matter. I love you mom always and forever. Jo
