She was a kind gentle woman. She was a huge part of my life. I will ever be thankful for all she did for me throughout my life. Although she has physically passed now, I feel I lost her several years ago to dementia. But even then she remained a mild spirit. Now she is free and in Jesus bosom. Ah what a sweet place to be. I will miss her dearly, but am thankful that she is free. God Bless her. Love always, Gina
