She ran a day care center for years and was truly invested in the joy and care of children. She was an incredibly talented musician and encouraged and supported her children in every way musically. Many do not know, but she was a lovely poet, her written words are her most authentic expressions and so very beautiful. She absolutely loved an underdog and could be appropriately irreverent.
