There have been so many times that someone has said, "your Mom is such a special person". All we can say is thank you, and we know. The reason our mom is called special by so many others is that she really had a gift of making everyone she knew feel special. It didn't matter who you were and what walk of life you were from, she accepted, loved and cared for you. She had the gift to know when to just listen and when to offer advice and you could count on her to give you the exact help you needed. What people don't know is that the special feeling they had was Gods spirit working through her. Mom dedicated her life to her husband and to her family and for this we thank you Online condolences may be sent to hickeyfuneralhome.com.
