Mom enjoyed sitting in her rocking chair with a glass of wine. Summer months were spent outside, listening to the sounds of the birds and enjoying the sunshine. She enjoyed being surrounded by her family and friends, and her door was always open and awaiting company. She was well-known for her baking, and it was always a competition to see who could get to the baking first. The family would like to thank the staff of Misericordia Place (MP2) for their loving care of mom over the years. Mom always said They take such good care of me . Mom will be lovingly remembered by her family, and will be forever cherished both in our hearts and our fondest of memories.
