In paradise she now walks with our Lord and Father, no longer in pain but in a new body. She was such an incredible friend and mentor. She made everything positive’even living in a group home. What a wonderful women she is, she will be missed but remembered and loved. I rejoice in the Lord for letting her be apart of my life.
