It didnt matter what occasion it was, a birthday, special holiday or just a kind gesture, she was always thinking about what she could do for them, that affection was shown through in many ways. It may have been through a fun crocheted hat or blanket, a beautiful colored pencil sketch, the beading of a Christmas angel, playing pinochle, painting the kids finger and toenails, shooting pool/darts with friends or sharing one of her many beloved stories with anyone that would listen, she loved to see others happy.
