Our mom was a woman of deep faith for her Lord, Jesus Christ. She was the greatest encourager and had the most positive attitude; she was our families biggest cheerleader. Mom was a life-long learner and had a hunger to continuously learn scripture and live it out. She never failed in displaying her love and support to family and friends, but most of all to her husband, children and especially her grandchildren. Her unwavering support was always on full display as she never missed an event where her kids or grandkids were involved. Mom had a deep love for life as she never failed to capture moments through photos and video. She always wanted to make memories.

Mom loved everyone she met. She always made you feel as if you were the most important person and once she finished talking to you, she would leave you more encouraged and loved. Her greatest loves were her husband, kids, grandkids and grandpets, She loved fiercely and passionately.

Although, we will miss our mom, we know she is with her forever love now, but most importantly she is loving and adoring her savior, Jesus. Mom truly lived out her faith and she exemplified what it means to die to self and take up your cross daily. Her purpose to worship Jesus was truly lived out. Mom was a woman of conviction and held steadfast to her values. Her life reflected and glorified her Savior, Jesus Christ.
