Her personality lit-up a room. She made everyone laugh, even though she wasn’t always trying to be funny. Not only was she beautiful, she also had a beautiful soul and avery special way about her. She lived a great life surrounded by so many people that loved and cared for her. Her faith was very important to her, as she held her rosary beads every night and would pray to our Blessed Mother.
