She was a true Diva. Our mother was so full of life and love. She enjoyed being around family and friends. Kind-hearted, funny and so compassionate for others. She enjoyed reading her Bible, word search/crossword puzzles, shopping and socializing. She was very friendly and enjoyed helping others. She was easy-going and good-natured, sacrificing her own happiness or comfort to keep the peace with others or for others. She had a loving and humble spirit. Our beautiful, loving mother will be missed and remembered and loved “forever”.
