She loved to ride roller coasters and took all her children and many nieces and nephews on their first ride. She was lots of fun and always up for a road trip. She was fortunate to visit many beautiful places like Hong Kong, California and Hawaii. To her children, she was not just their mother but their friend and confidant.
