Her family was her focus in life and she ensured that they were cared for, above all else, especially above those of her own needs. She would light up a room with her beautiful blue eyes, gentle hugs, and her warm and loving voice. She loved to play her piano, decorate the house, to make it a home and was very organized in all she put her mind to. Mum was our best friend, confidant and love of our lives.
