Our mom wanted all of us to remember that words and actions can hurt those you love, so ask yourself, what would Jesus do before doing something that you can’t take back. Forgiveness is there for all who ask. Mom touched the lives of many, many people and would want us to celebrate her life instead of mourning her passing.

Special thank you to everyone at the Broadwater Health Center. She loved living there and loved the staff. Also thank you to Frontier Hospice.
