Her unwavering determination to give me every possible opportunity against significant odds, brought unique adventures spanning continents and cultures and now a cache of memories few can rival. She was tenacious in her beliefs that there is nothing like the American Dream, and the unalienable rights afforded citizens in this country, and that it could be ours, if we remained true to ourselves and worked hard. She was right. We made it beyond our wildest imagination; she was quite a lady.
