Even in hard times, her faith remained strong through her consistent conversations with God through prayer. From one of her many Bibles, she wrote “Lord help me be a blessing to someone along life’s way. Each and every day I live may I plant a seed of love, peace and salvation from the blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
