Reminiscing and being with people was her passion in life and you could never keep her still for long. She was a devoted and dedicated Christian. Her faith and church prayer group meant a great deal to her and gave her a source of strength. Our family would like to take this time to say thank you to all the doctors, nurses and care staff who took such good care of her.
