How well I remember her smile and jubilant laughter. The last time we spent together she was dancing in her wheelchair and smiling the biggest smile. May God continue to smile upon her children, and may they always remember she was a very happy and satisfied person as a mother and God-fearing woman of God.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
