She is really my hero.  She had a very difficult childhood, and faced much adversity in her adult life.  She lost two husbands, a daughter, and a granddaughter to illness.  Rather than be bitter, she found a way to continue to be sweet and have a positive outlook.  She worked into her 90’s as a very successful realtor.   She taught me that I have a choice in how I face each day, and like her, I choose to be positive!
