Heaven gained the sweetest angel. She was the sweetest, caring, thoughtful and thee most selfless person. She loved giving to others with no expectations in return. She donated many of her crafts to numerous organizations.
She has always had a knack and an amazing talent for crafting. It didn’t matter what type of crafts she loved them all. She excelled in everything she made not only by talent but by the thoughtfulness and love she put in everything she made.
One thing we can say about our mom is she was one strong tough cookie. Through all her ailments and health issues and many Dr. appts. She never once complained and always kept her sweet, sweet smile.
