The lives she touched and the impact she had on those lives is fascinating and impressive. If you talk to her family and friends you will hear countless stories of her zest for life. She loved and was proud of her large family. She had a true love for all music, her favorite singer being Frank Sinatra. She loved to tell jokes, but unfortunately could never remember how many of the jokes ended and had to pull out a piece of paper and read the punch line. Still, everyone laughed!
