Mom was the kindest, most patient human being one could ever know.  Through all the hard times and suffering, she never once complained, nor did her faith waiver. She was so loved by everyone who knew her.  Her and dad's marriage was beyond admirable- it was perfect!  We will all miss her so much, but are so happy she is watching from above and whole again.  Love you to the moon and back! Until we see you in eternity.
