Her family said they will miss her very much; "She always made time for all of us and never forgot her friends. We will forever remember her strength and her courage. Her last years were difficult, but she never complained and carried on as though nothing was wrong and did her best to live as she always has, laughing, smiling, with open arms and hugs for everyone and strong shoulders to lean on. "We were all blessed to have her in our lives."
