She enjoyed listening to music and dancing in her kitchen with her husband or her granddaughters. She loved the beach and was at 'V----------- . ____ V-'Ä.J peace whenever she was near the ocean. Her smile was contagious and her laugh could fill the room. She had the biggest heart which was felt by all who came across her path, so much so that her last wish was to donate her organs to someone in need.
