Why does your mom rock?

My sister Robin is definitely the superstar mom of the year! Robin has been taking care of our mom for twenty five years, taking her to all her medical appointments, day and night care whether at home home, hospital or at a rehabilitation facility.

Our mom Harolvene “Vena” Spencer passed on Sunday, April 26, 2015 at home with her family by her side. My sister made sure she honored all of our moms last wishes including passing at home. Our mom had the perfect funeral with Hawaiian music, flowers, an orchid in her hair and a beautiful Hawaiian lei.

My sister has had a hard life, her biological son Benjamin passed at five and a half days of age. She now has a handsome son Ryan who was born in South Korea and has been with us for over 12 years. He loved his ”Grand Ma Ma” very much and is a great comfort to his mom as is his dad Chuck.

My sister is a superstar mom and daughter.
