I may two mistakes when I put in my comments of how I felt about this wonderful lady. God loves us all. She was a good listener and very understanding she would never criticize she was just there to listen and so you. And she wasn’t bad at all like giving some good advice.
She was a lovely good-hearted lady that always had her door open to anyone in need. She was very caring and sympathetic. She was a good listener if you had a trouble she would listen when caring and understanding words. This lady was awesome and raised a beautiful loving family. They should be very proud of her I didn’t see her much but I always thought of her. The suffering is now gone she’s at peace and will be with Jesus One Day in heaven this could God loves us all. ❤️🌹🌹🌹

May she rest peacefully! ❤️
