My sister and I were with her when she passed away Tuesday night. Her last wish was to stay at home and not go to the hospital and I am proud to say that we were able to do that for her. Her passing was very peaceful and void of any pain. She was an wonderful, caring person who always looked at the bright side of anything that came her way. Tell the people that you love that you love them every chance that you get...Peace and Love - Grace
