Gramma Dot you will be missed so much. You inspired me to be a better wife and mother and hopefully one day I will be the amazing Gramma you always were to all of us. You taught me so many life lessons that will remain with me always, and that I hope to teach Taylor & Truen. You were our families rock and we cherished every day we spent with you. How lucky and blessed we were. RIP beautiful lady and give Grampa a big hug from us xox I love you ❤

Mom was all about tolerance and forgiveness. She always felt for the underdog. She was "engaged" in life to the end. She held strong beliefs in human rights and labour unions. Mom was supportive of her family and always offered unconditional love. There are so many stories she shared about her younger days growing up in a happy, often rambunctious family with three brothers. She never lost her love of fashion, shopping, "lunching" and parties. She will be missed.
