Words by her loving husband:
In her seven and half year journey dealing with the scourge of cholangiocarcinoma; her grace, strength and courage inspired countless people all over the world. She is at peace now and whole again, safe in the everlasting arms of our Lord in eternal peace, with perpetual light shining upon her.
