She was tough and funny, liked to have a good time, and loved hard. She’d give you the shirt off her back if you asked. She crocheted everyone baby blankets and babysat everyone’s kids. She didn’t take life too seriously, and laughed a lot. She was everyone’s friend and safe place to land. When my mom was a teen\/ in her 20s, her friends would go to their apartment just to hangout with my grandma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI can picture her folding our laundry on the couch, watching Spanish soap operas with no subtitles even though she didn’t speak Spanish.

Her favorite color was purple.
