I am deeply sorry for your loss. May she be remembered by all who knew her for her kindness and generous spirit. God is good and merciful, he has given us a life span of 70 and 80 years if we are strong. Psalms 90:10. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times you shared together as you celebrate a life well lived and loved by many.
