Grandma's was a shining example of a life well lived. She was always up for anything and never let adversary or setbacks get in her way. We will all miss her dearly but are so grateful for the wonderful memories.

To the Higgins family, My sincere sympathy on the loss of your wonderful Mom, Jake. She did a great job with all of you after the early loss of Frank. How proud she must have been to have all the grandchildren too. May she now rest in the peace of Christ. My prayer with and for her and you in these days ahead.
