She was her husband's right hand. Her hands were never idle, even when she wasn't tending to the farm. She handcrafted the most beautiful rosaries, beautified and fixed everything around her. You can't turn around without seeing something she had created, fixed, or made her own. Her grandchildren absolutely lit up her life, as she did theirs so very much. She lived her life for the ones around her, knowing that she touched their lives made her happy.
