We will miss Mom and are grateful for the time that we had with her. She was an accomplished seamstress and cook. Our feet will continue to be warmed by the slippers that she knitted. No family gathering will be the same without her meatballs. Her grandchildren will miss the bingo nights and card games. We will all remember the happy summer days at the lake. Her sense of gratitude will inspire us as all as we go forward knowing that she loved us all.
Our family would like to thank her caregivers, particularly the kind and gentle people at Ascension Wheaton Franciscan Hospital and Home Harbor.
