There are many memories and stories that will always keep Mom alive in our hearts and minds. She was not only the Matriarch of our family: she was the life’s blood and heartbeat that made us the strong passionate individuals we are today. This trait that we have inherited not only from her but Dad as well will help us to endure both the heartache of loss and the jubilation of her ascension to be with the King of the Most High, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let not your heart be trouble for she has gone on to be with family that are rejoicing in Heaven for her arrival.
