We've just lost our loving mom at the age of 56 from a stroke. The loss has hit our family at a difficult time, as we're still reeling from the loss of other family over recent years.

She was the eldest of four sisters and a brother. She leaves behind two sons, a daughter-in-law, and a loving husband, all who miss her dearly.

She also took an immense liking to cats and dogs, having raised many pets throughout the years, after not being able to stand them inside our homes initially. They warmed her way into her heart, as she also did into theirs.

Even during rough times she tried her best to keep looking at the bright side of things, and it was always enough to get us by. She didn't let her physical disability slow her down later in life and was just glad to be around her family, and us her. She was taken from us so quickly and we never got to tell her goodbye. We love and miss you, mom.

We're trying to raise enough funds to cover her funeral services and any other additional memorial expenses. Any support is appreciated and we thank you just for reading about her.
