She was a faithful servant, full of wisdom and deeply rooted in the righteousness of God; a lover of  God's word and all people. She was always before God praying for her family and her congregations. She kept them all lifted in prayer.  No matter the circumstance, there was always a smile on her face.  We thank God for giving us a person in our lives that always spoke positive and loved so deeply. She will be missed. Even with a calm and quiet spirit, when it came to God, she made herself known just by the soft words spoken. It was all about HIM and what His word said.
