Thanks to all our family and friends who have expressed their love and prayers for us. Mother's motto and theme song was "I have come by the Way of the Cross." It is the only song she requested for her funeral. Her greatest prayer and hope was that all of her loved ones would accept Christ as their Savior and have a personal relationship with Him, her Lord and Savior. Love to all of you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgt-FRbLF2w
