We lost the matriarch of our family. Our Queen Bee. After a very private fight against cancer, it finally got the best of her. Words cannot express the hole this leaves in our world. A giant crater left behind that will never be able to be filled. Our hearts are all broken. She was a force to be reckoned with. So strong willed, a fighter until the very end.
