As she took every opportunity to teach us many things that we will never forget. She bravely fought a terrible lung disease for more than ten years, and our Lord decided she should be spared any further suffering. She passed comfortably at home in her sleep. Mom/Gam, you will be dearly missed but we know you are no longer suffering and you are with loved ones and you are our heavenly Angel.
