There is not enough words to properly explain to you how amazing my mom was. If you met her, she loved you. We was passionate about her faith and her family. She loved to share Jesus with everyone, "literally" everyone. She will be missed by so many....I can't believe you are gone, but we are happy to know that you are not in any pain and can walk, like you have wanted to do for the past year. We love you so much mom......rest in peace.

Wonderful, caring, generous to a fault woman of God. Loved everyone and easily shared God’s love and lived it. Was instrumental in finding my rancher in Maple Ridge and with the help of the then Christ in the Family assisted in moving me from Po Co to Maple Ridge. Words are not enough to recount her kindness and the wonderful times we spent in prayer and fun here and Mexico. Blessings and God’s comfort to all the family. She’s missed but free and enjoying being in her Father’s presence. I’m blessed to have known her.
