We are all blessed and truly favored to have been touched by this angel during her life that she unselfishly shared with us. We must honor her by keeping her memory alive and pay the blessing forward that we were not able to give back. We must give thanks to our Lord and Savior for sharing her with us and cherish the earnest love she leaves with us. We must also remember that her soul now dwells in a place where her power is amplified and her peacefulness is abundant.
