My mom always loved to come back and visit, and I know she&rsquo;s watching over us today and reminding me to keep these remarks short.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Koch recalled that her mother &ldquo;will forever be remembered for her strength, abounding love for family, quick wit, and deep commitment to literacy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Mom lived through six children, 21 grandchildren, at least 27 moves from California to China, seven wars, three dress sizes, two governors, seven parachute jumps, and two presidents,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unlikely that Mom ever pictured herself on a postage stamp, and it&rsquo;s very likely that she would be wondering what all this fuss is about today. But on behalf of my entire family, I can assure you that we are all very proud and grateful for this special tribute.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Barbara died in April 2018, shortly before her husband in November that year.
