Blue Suede Shoes Angel Pin, Joan

Can you design an angel for my friend, who just lost her mother after a brief illness, rather unexpected. I asked her for some information about her mom so you could design one of your special pins for her. My mom was a very exceptional woman. She was the kind of person who did great things very quietly and didn't want to be praised for it. It was just her nature to do things to show that she cared about her family and friends. She started out with 18 brothers and sisters and only has 6 left. I think it was the fact that she came from such a large, poor family that caused her to make people her priority in life. She cared for my grandma (her mother-in-law) for many years until she passed away, for my uncle until he survived cancer, her best friend until she died from cancer, my aunt until she got better, and her second husband until he died from cancer. As a nurse's aide, she cared for many elderly people until they passed away. She was always so great with her patients that many of their families still kept in touch with her after the person died. Anyway, I'm rambling on! It's one of those rare moments when I am thinking about her without crying! :) I miss her every day. Things she was known for, baking her many fabulous cookies (we would deliver heaping trays of them to her family on Christmas Eve), pies, bread, cooking especially spaghetti--she would invite about 60-70 of her "immediate" family to the community room in her building and make spaghetti dinner, complete with homemade bread and pies, for the entire group! taking care of people who were sick, she was a nurse's aid for a few years but mostly she just took care of her family and friends until they died or got better. Some of her favorite things, she LOVED and collected anything with Elvis!
