Above all, she treasured her family and the many friendships she held dear. Her gentle spirit, giving nature, and faithful presence will leave a lasting impression on all who were blessed to know her. While her absence will be deeply felt, her family and friends find comfort in knowing that she is now resting in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
