Her children told amazing stories about her and with that she became a legend to her grandchildren. She was proud of her grandchildren for all that they have accomplished and always saw the best in them. She also got to meet her great grandson, and her eyes shined bright with love. She loved the simple things in life, but her best times were always with her family. She loved us all with everything she had and because of that she will always have a special place in our hearts.
