God has blessed us with a dear friend, caring family member, and generous lady. Her faith in our Lord Jesus Christ sustained her throughout her life. We are so grateful for her sense of humor and her laughter which will live on in her family and friends. She was a supportive member of Trinity Baptist Church, and she was ready to be with our Lord when He called her home. Her family would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to
her compassionate caregivers: Mary Cisneros, Leticia Ochoa, and Debra Edmonds. We will miss our wonderful and great Mom. Visitation will be from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock on Thursday, October 18, 2001 at Porter Loring.
