I first remember is her smile. She always made you feel as part of the family. She was loved by so many. I will miss her. Prayers and hugs to the family.

The first time I met her she radiated "love". You loved her right away. Leo and me thought so much of her. She prayed for Leo to be saved and she came to his baptism, which was very special for both of us. She will be missed.
