I want the family to know that they had a beautiful mother, grandmother and sister. I am member of Union United Church of Christ. And I will miss her smiles and great hugs. I know she is in Heaven shouting and praising God just the way she did at Union. My prayers and with you family. Just keep on leaning and depending on God just they way she did.
