The sweetest smile and laughter like sunshine in our day. A mother’s precious treasure suddenly left our life today. Talent with creativity a wondrous gift she had loved making people happy now gone and love ones sad. Always had far-reaching vision’s and many facet’s, she was a gem. The life she so traveled shattered heartbreak, we mourn her end.
