From the Family:

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, visits and support during this time. Especially those who knew and loved our mother, she had a kind and loving heart, she would go that extra mile for you, she would give you her last dollar, she would serve, assist and help anyone who needed it. You could always find her on the go either by herself, or with her husband, or with her daughters. She enjoyed visiting the beach, which held a special meaning in her heart. Mom would always teased that she had an engineering degree because she enjoyed taking apart and putting things back together, she enjoyed washing and folding clothes, and mailing gift boxes to family members — her own personal shipping and receiving company.
