She was always the life of any gathering and a fast friend to all in need. Faith and Family were central to her life. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. We were blessed to have her in our lives. She leaves a big empty place in our hearts but fills a bright spot in heaven. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Thanks be to God.
