She is one of the special people in this world who brighten it. She overcame so much and raised her amazing daughters. Her grandkids, great-grandkids and her great-great-grandkids adore her. She is 100 years old and is coming to the point where she is ready to leave this world, and I want her life to be celebrated. A lot of my friends know her, she was the “Little Queen of Pawtucket”. I know your physical time with us is coming to an end Vavo, but we will all be lucky to have your spirit watching...
