My mom was an amazing mother and grandmother, among other titles. She was a born leader, always up for fun and always wanted to be with us and the grandkids. She was a dynamic go-getter who taught 5th grade at Annunciation Catholic School for more than 34 years. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on June of 2016. She never stopped fighting, not for one second. She did anything that was asked of her and fought like a warrior. Ultimately, the cancer took her in November of 2018. We promised her that we would never forget her, and we talk about her every day. Mom would have been 80 years old on September 9th, 2022. I am honoring her memory by walking for ovarian cancer awareness in the Teal Strides MOCA event on September 10th.
