She was the most devoted mother and grandmother she embodied unconditional love, nurturing, selflessness & guidance. Whether she prayed for you directly or simply lived out her faith in her actions, that kind of devotion creates a legacy that endures in the hearts of those she loved. She was a protector, and guide for her children and grandchildren. She took so much joy in her family life celebrating both big and small moments for everyone. Her presence was a source of strength, warmth, and support. Whether she was coloring , doing word puzzles or praying she was always incredible at all of them. The memories she created with us are treasures we hold dear, and her legacy will continue to be cherished and honored, now and forever.
