She had a difficult life but never let it bring her down. Her strength, love, courage, intelligence and humor will live on through her 5 beautiful children. She took care of every living thing from her geraniums, snails, slugs, stray cats, our pet cats, our family dog, pet rats, hamsters and her beloved hairless guineapig, Kookoobutt. She even fed the homeless adults and neighborhood children who weren't as lucky as we were to have her as their Mother. She was always a hard worker and always made sure her kids were taken care of, even when she had to sacrifice her own dreams. When we were bullied by either other kids or school staff, she always had our backs. Life will never ever be the same without her. The world is more dark without her in it. We love you, Mom! Hope to be reunited with you someday!
