My prayers and peace goes out to the family. I remember her as a little child at the age of 2yrs old with her mom attend church meetings. She was a child very excited, full of life. She was a beautiful baby toddler. She always seems to be ahead of her mother. Her mother couldn't keep up with her. This is the little energetic baby girl that I remember and her beautiful mom. May Peace and Love be upon the family
