She is loved by many and we rejoice in her homegoing!

She is a life to celebrate
For I know she's standing at the pearly gates
A jewel given to us so rare
There's not a person for which she did not care
Her favorite phrase "I preciate you and love you"
Oh what I'd give for one more
Heaven gained a mighty woman
A prayer warrior of no measure
A lifetime of memories
A one of a kind treasure!

Our mother, Our grandmother, Our angel.
