Our mom's loving, kind, generous nature could not be surpassed. She was always there to hold and console, heal our sickness and dry our tears with her loving hugs and kisses. Never a day would go by without her saying I love you. Mom found much joy being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each of them hold special memories of her loving kindness in their hearts. She devoted her life to her family, keeping an immaculate house and a kitchen filled with food. All who entered her domain could not leave without eating. Her meatballs and lasagna are remembered by many to this day. Mom's love transcended beyond her family into the lives of all she knew. She will be sadly missed and remain in our hearts forever. Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at Geisen Funeral Home, 7905 Broadway, Merrillville, with Rev.
