She was a grandmother to my sister and I when we were far from family in Costa Rica. She prayed for our family and everyone she loved daily. I loved reading her notes and journal entries. She was a true friend to anyone and everyone, and she could be as candid and honest as day. I will miss her more than I could ever express. Her legacy lives on in our hearts and lives.
