Due to her tragic accident at the age of seven, she remained handicapped. Those that knew her, know she carried a heavy cross. She taught us that everything is a blessing, that your heart should always by open, that you never get tired and let compassion be your guide. Mom loved her crafts and painting and they hang proudly all through Fred Douglas Lodge. She was a great cook and a loving mother. We will miss you, Mom.
