To know her was to love her… and she, in turn, loved everyone she knew. She loved the Lord with all her heart! She had the desire that through her suffering, God would be glorified and someone would draw close to the Lord. In her last days, she said, "You know I love you Jesus," and He brought her home. We will all miss her terribly, but we know she is rejoicing with the angels in heaven. We will see you again!
