She died when I was eight, but I have very clear memories of an extraordinarily sweet and loving lady. Her hands were wracked with arthritis, yet I remember them stroking the hair on my head. It was her death that I recall was my first experience with losing someone I loved.
It is not an understatement to say that her children and grandchildren all thought that Ma hung the moon!
