She was a caring and nurturing mother to her son. She was protective and loved her siblings. She put family first and was passionate about keeping us close. She was a lover of the arts and fashion. She enjoyed dancing and listening to music. She was funny, outgoing, and vivacious, but also quiet and introspective. She symbolized beauty and grace. She was fiercely loyal to her friends and family. She had a special relationship with her Savior Jesus Christ. She spent countless hours reading his word and standing on his promises. She shared biblical knowledge and scripture to family and friends as a testament of her faith.

She cared about people in the purest way. She loved people for who they were and because she wished the best for them, without guile and without asking anything in return. Mostly, recall the sheer pleasure of her company, how good she made you feel, how free you were to be yourself around her, and how much her presence in our lives will be sorely missed.
