”Be persuaded that neither death with its voice of fear, nor the life with its many cares, nor the attacks of the enemy which falsely accuse you, nor things present with their pressing claims, nor things to come with their dark shadows nor the height of any mountains that stand In your way, nor the depths of a great trial that you may walk through, nor any person or circumstance which tries to quench your joy or rob you of your peace- shall be able to move you away by even a single inch, from the love of God that covers and guards your life.” -- Roy Lessin

Mom’s tenacious spirit will be missed by each of us. At her request, no services will be held.
