We are thankful for the time God granted you to be with us. Many memories have been created and what a lasting impression you left us. You lived the life of a good Christian soldier wise to the ways of the enemy! Rest easy until we see you again in the presence of God. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
