Words cannot describe the love she had for all of us and how blessed we were to have her. Through kindness and strength, she was an example to her entire family that no matter the hardship she came through and showed each of us that love endures all, and If you were one of the lucky people who knew her you know how blessed and fortunate you really were. Her everlasting love will be carried by her family as her greatest gift to us, and she will truly be forever missed.
