Mom Hughes (as I always called her) was such an important person in my life, and she was one of the most compassionate, easy going, and generous people that I have ever known. She lit up whenever she was around a child, and she always made time for them. She was happiest when she had a little one in her lap.
She taught me how to relax as a mom (I was nervous!), and her calm demeanor and years of wisdom being around children helped me immensely. Jillian (her "west coast granddaughter") was always so happy when she was going to see Grandma!!! Grandma and her other grandchildren created "Under the Sea" decorations in her basement, read together, and in general just had fun with them.
I will miss our calls, our visits, and all of the love that she gave to all of us. She has been a great influence in my life, and I was so lucky and blessed to have known her.
Condolences to all of the family.
