“She was the best of us – I have never met a more generous and loving person.” She loved life and never complained. Always,” Mia added.
“She was a nurse for 27 years, a wonderful sister to Steffi, Prudence and me, a devoted mother to Jason who died in Iraq, Bridget and little grandson Kylor – the lights of her life,” the grieving sister wrote Thursday.
“She died unexpectedly yesterday morning.” Apparently in her sleep. “This is a difficult time for all of us who admire and love her so much,” she concluded.
