All our family cherished the great true stories she told us and made us laugh. She had a great sense of humor that we all loved. She will be missed dearly by everyone. She had a big kind heart and every Christmas she would be the Christmas angel. She gave an anonymous gift to someone every year, such as a friend, acquaintance, or a stranger.
