Everyone knew our mama by the affectionate nick name that her grandmother gave her "Muffy". Muffy was the fighter and protector of her siblings. She would fight a dead rattlesnake for them….she was never scared, she fought boys and girls…lol. And she did the exact same for her girls. She taught us that anything was possible. She did so much as a single parent, sacrificed so much, went without so much. With that being said, our mother was the TRUTH. Delores (Muffy) had many talents.
