Aunt Ramona was always an encouragement to me during the hardest times in my life. She was a woman of faith and prayer and always gave me a scripture to hold onto. I will never forget her.

Ramona was just like family. She prayed over the sick, and loved her family deeply. She befriended my wife, and prayed over me many times. She helped those who nobody else would. She was a living saint and will be missed greatly.
