My mother was a person of tremendous love, courage, and support. In 2003 she valiantly fought the debilitating effects of a major stroke and then battled pancreatic cancer from 2003 – 2007 which ultimately claimed her body but not her spirit. She inspired me with her composure during her last days when my hope dissolved into crocodile tears.

May we all find our passion. Godspeed!
