Whether she was among the elite or the very poor, she was the same. A person who was a friend to anyone unless they did her wrong, then the friendship ended. A woman who was able to take my children and treat them as her own, not only in public, but also in private. A person with an unshakeable faith in God. If she wanted to do something and I was opposed, that was the end of it. Not many people can do that. A woman who felt blessed to have a family and a home. She enjoyed receiving gifts but enjoyed more being the giver. ~Chesley Peters
