Love Just Isn't A Strong Enough Word for the Barton's
When she finally had a chance to retire, she opted to buy an even bigger house so that "her grandchildren could always have a place to play". That sort of love is an inspiration beyond career accomplishments. And perhaps the greatest inspiration is seeing how much she loves her grandchildren and they love her back.
