Our mother was a woman like no other, faith filled, strong, courageous and loved all her family and friends passionately. She gave us life, laughter and a heart for charity. She fought and protected us fiercely but most of all she loved us. Mom had a zest for life and it was evident in all that she did. Her legacy and example will always be a powerful influence and a guiding light for us to follow and preserve. We will miss you mom and you will remain forever in our hearts. We love you Mom!
