She was a one-of-a-kind lady; quirky with a lot of personality and an infectious sense of humor. She would sometimes weed the garden at 11pm, illuminating the yard with halogen work lights.

My wife, 3 kids and I, have been living with her for the past year (which of course didn't seem so great then... but obviously I now feel very grateful for the time we had together).

She really touched a lot of people over the years - after overcoming some personal problems 5 years ago, she did a lot of work with support groups (as a mentor) and charities (volunteering at a homeless/drug-addiction shelter).

It was unbelievable how many people came to the viewing last night.

She was an amazing grandmother to my 3 kids, and to my sister's 2.

Check out the links; her story is worth reading.

thanks

Patrick, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I wish you strength and peace in these tough times.
My condolences to you and your family
 
Sounds like you will still have her around in many ways! Sorry for your loss.
 
From what I've read the loss is the communities, she sounds like (and I'm sure) a great lady. God's blessings and prayers from me to you and yours.
 
Patrick, your mother sounds like a wonderful person. You are so lucky to have been part of her life. It is very hard to loose such a person, but hopefully your faith and memories will help you. I lost my mother (four years ago) and my wife (six years ago) and understand what you are going through. It is tough but truly, time will heal.
 
Our condolonces, Patrick.

Find comfort in the memories of all the good things she did for you, her family, her friends, and her employers. She sounds like she was the best of all things.

Patrick, I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a remarkable lady. I wish you strength and you have my most heart felt condolences.
 
Patrick, no words can relieve the loss that you feel right now, but keep in mind your mother was a free soul who is now truly free.
 
Patrick,
I lost my mom unexpectedly when she was 60. It was way too soon, but at least she lived long enough to see and hold her first grandson, although he was so young that I wonder if he truly remembers her. :(

My prayers go out to you and your family.
 
Sorry for your loss Patrick your mom and your family will be in our prays.
 
My Mom was also a very young woman when she died.
My condolences....................................
