Her undying ability to understand children of all ages is a unique gift and has been utilized unselfishly and genuinely over the years. She has been a role model in the truest sense of the word for so many kids and parents. Her unique gift in giving of her self extends to every facet of her life. When faced with a daughter addicted to drugs and the welfare of her grandchildren she looked for the best possible solution for everyone involved. Her undying ability to be selfless was demonstrated in the acceptance of a family friend to care for and adopt the three children. It was not because she was not willing but because she wanted the best possible outcome for the children. They all are adopted and now she is integrated into their families and is a grandparent for their three children.
