She faced many circumstances along the way that helped shape the strong, determined and courageous woman she became.

Together with her husband, they created a strong foundation of love, respect, honor, perseverance, discipline and dedication that has been weaved in the structure of her children. This legacy will live forever in her family and generations to come.
