Mom passed peacefully while sleeping. For the first time in years, she was not interrupted by the late-night potty breaks. Mom will no longer have to suffer through tv commercials, LOL. Obviously, she had a terrific sense of humor and loved to laugh. She was beloved by everyone who met her. She loved and adored her children and grandchildren. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for her family. Most of all, she loved and missed her husband and wanted nothing more than to see him and be with him again, in eternity. And of course, have more laughs.

We all love you, mom and will miss you terribly.
