She touched their lives with her passion, spunk, sassiness, and feisty attitude. Her laughter and smile could warm anyone’s heart and her generosity was endless.

That life is more than what it seems. but that’s not always what it means. You taught me that life was full of love, that’s how I know you’re an angel from above. God made you my mother because, He knew I could not live without you. We will always be Your baby girls, We love you mom You are our world.
