Her children say "She was the best mother imaginable. THE BEST. She took care of us and taught us and loved us and made us all feel special. She made sure each of us kids got the same number of raisins on our peanut butter and raisin sandwiches. And as the years went by, she was always an important part of our lives and helped us along our paths. We miss her and if you knew her at all, you probably will too."
