I was blessed to be with her in her last days. The night before she passed, is one of my favorite times with her. She was so happy and I will miss being able to call and talk to her. She was one of the strongest women I know. She has fought this cancer for so long, but was always smiling,

Growing up u always had my back. I remember u pierced my ears for the second time. U gave me my first paying job watching the kids. I was always ur niece u never used the ugly word "step". U taught me writing is a great out let. I love u to the stars and back.
