A testament to Mom’s life was her sense of optimism, compassion, dependability, resilience and timeliness. She took great pride in serving as a volunteer for decades at Hope and Cope. Mom was a stylish dresser, always eager for a restaurant outing, a game of mahjong with friends, and she was passionate about receiving calls and visits from her pride and joys.
