She said if Friends wants to celebrate her life, This is what she wants them to do, go out get a bunch of greeting card, they can be "Birthday" or "Just think of you". write a note in each one. And mail them out to their Friends and Family. The People that you haven't talk to in awhile. That the Best way to Remember Her. What Mom taught: “Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.” We would like to give a Special thanks to her Friends and Nurses Cindy and Randi for their care.
