Our Mom was a beautiful, wonderful, amazing woman. She was a great example to us all. She loved to laugh, dance, sing and spend time with her family. She grew up in the Great Depression. She graduated from George Washington University in Business Administration. She worked for National Science Foundation (NSF) in Washington, D.C. as a Program Assistant of government grants for science expeditions.

We are so thankful we were able to have her in our lives as long as we did. Even though she had challenges with Alzheimer's, she always had a radiant smile and brought joy to our lives. Thank you Mom for all that you have given us. We love you and miss you dearly. A special thanks to our brother Greg who devoted his time unselfishly to take care of our Mom. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
