She did not know the meaning of the word “Relax”. Whenever she had company, they never left hungry, she had to feed you something. She was an amazing cook. Family was everything to her. She cared for many of them. She often spoke of her brother Lou who was killed in WWII with so much pain in her voice. She was as Patriotic as they come. She stood while the National Anthem played on TV during ball games. She loved to sing. But most of all, she loved Jesus Christ. She was a devout Catholic whose faith was unshakable. She is now in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
