She found great delight in spiritual conversations with them. She was faithful to take them to church and she made sure they had access to the Word of God by always giving them a Bible and marking passages that she felt needed to be read. She was the power of our family, the love that built us and the grace that we learned, her heart was filled with love and gratitude to God above. She was a strong, hard worker, a provider to her family, the heart and soul of our family, the one who always called to see how you were doing. She was strong willed, loving and made sure everyone was taken care of, she loved the Lord and her family unconditionally.
