an honor to be included with those she called daughters. Many memories flood our minds with reflections on the past. She truly manifested the most cheerful outlook on life even when circumstances were difficult. She loved her family and friends and was always
ready with goodies made by her hands. Her laughter was contagious as she reflected her joyful spirit. My last conversation with her after her move gave me the message she was eager to go to her eternal home. We know there is great rejoicing as she is welcomed
by Uncle Bill and her dear family members and friends. As we share in her tributes, Proverbs 31 is truly an example of whom she was and how she lived her life. Our hearts and prayers will be with all of you as you gather together to celebrate the life of a
wonderful, loving and godly woman who touched so many lives. Mike & Lorna
