"She was the heart of our family - loving, strong, and always putting others before herself.  Her kindness, warmth, and unconditional love touched everyone who knew her.  Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ.  We are grateful for  the memories, laughter, and love she gave so freely, and we hold onto the faith that we will see her again one day.  She will be deeply missed and forever remembered".  ~ Her loving family
