Hi everyone, my name is Kaitlyn DeMaio and I am Kathleen DeMaio's daughter. My mother put up a long, hard battle against small cell lung cancer for almost the last two years. Many people were unaware of the battle she was enduring but that is because my mother never wanted anyone to worry about her, that's just who she was. She was the most loving, caring, adventurous woman you ever had the pleasure of meeting. The people who had the pleasure of meeting my mother always said how at home she made you feel. That's what my mom was, she was home. For us, home wasn't a place you came home to, home was a person you came home too and that was my mother. There will be no funeral service but in the next coming months we will have a celebratory dinner in her honor. Almost a year ago we were traveling in Colorado and she had stumbled upon a small coffee shop that had a wall of inspiration to write on. What my mother had said was this, "I found the answer. You only need love, family, friends and a zest for life. This is the secret to true happiness".  My mom was there for all of our struggles and never let us deal with things alone. The funds are going to be used for all the incoming medical bills, any donation would be greatly appreciated. There aren't ever going to be enough words to describe how much we are going to miss you Mom.
