She left more than her footprints in this world; she left the eternal peace of Christ, the love of the Father, and the fruit of the Spirit. That will never cease, and she will be with us always because of the generous work she did while she was here. Her life may have been too short, but I am convinced it may have been more full than many who have outlived her. Thank you, mom, for your great example, may we resemble you in our own lives. We love you forever...
