She was my Mother and a great inspiration in my life. She taught us to be caring, decent human beings. She taught us to love animals, and to be kind to people. She wanted to help everyone she possibly could.she truly put others before herself. She was educated, and impressed that upon her children. And so we all got a college education. She was incredibly creative and loved drawing and painting and making her ornaments. 
She loved her some San Diego. I suppose in a way we all did. She also LOVED her some cats! We lost my dad Scotty 2 years ago. I will miss them tremendously, but I will carry the lessons and examples they imparted on me on through the rest of my life. I love you both and will miss you both everyday.
