Polio, Diabetes and Cancer while juggling a normal life
An accomplished Podiatrist that helped people live longer
A loving mother of five, and for 50 years, a loyal wife
Who lived life believing pain only makes you stronger

Every day through all her feats, a grin sparkled on her face
Like ocean water sparkles underneath the sun so round
She carried herself beautifully with enviable grace
With a voice that projected the sweetest sound

Her uplifting spirits have been an inspiration
As have her pure moments of determination.
