    She was such a sweet lady. She had a great spirit and always had a smile on her face. You could always tell how much she loved her family. I am so sorry for your loss but i do know she is whole again and she is with the love of her life. I know she will be truly missed. My Prayers for comfort and peace thru this time of having to say good bye to her for now. God Bless you all.

    Such a beautiful lady. I know all of you will miss her very much. Our prayers go out for each and every one of you during this time. Please let God comfort you all and share your good memories with each other, for as long as you talk about your loved ones and share your memories, that person never truly dies. The memories just grow dearer to each of you, and you might tell someone something that they did not know about her.
