A life of love: Matriarch’s legacy to family includes always being there, sharing the faith

It’s a sentiment that’s echoed repeatedly by the members of her extended family that has grown to more than 400 people. They share how she still lives with and takes care of her son Michael, who has Down syndrome. They add how she cared for her father when he lost a leg to diabetes, and for her mother when she was crippled in an accident. They mention how, at 91, she stayed by the side of her husband as he lost his battle with Alzheimer’s disease. (Page 1)
