Auntie was a precious gift. Always hopeful, filled with strength and grace. She made our world a brighter and better place. It's these moments, sweet and sad, with smiles and sometimes tears that our friendships formed. We shared good times and laughter throughout the years. Her life was well lived and is a legacy filled with joy and pride. Our hearts will always be grateful for the gifts she brought into the world.

All Our Love, Always...
