They took their family on vacations to Clear Lake, Lakeport, Disneyland and Monterey with friends and family. In 1977 her dream of taking the family to Malta came true and they spent six weeks with family and friend, enjoying the food, fiestas, and the beach. It was so much fun.

Mom's last event was the marriage of her grandson Mark to Marissa, she was so happy to be there. Her passing was very peaceful with her children by her side, holding her hands and comforting her. We told her it was okay to go and be with the Lord and with her husband.
