Oh, how she loved young people!  Oh, how she loved the Lord!

“I’m too blessed to be stressed with other people’s mess” 

“I am 95 and still alive,” serving as a joyous triumph to the wonderful life she had lived!

Her ubiquitous influence was felt by her family and friends. She will be remembered for her comedic wit as well as her kind heart.
