She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother and nanny. She loved each and every one unconditionally.

Two of her nieces, Alisa Harvey and Stacy Stapleton provided help in her time of need.

There is to be no physical service. Her service was when her spirit and soul left this sticky earthbound body and stood whole and well in the presence of our Lord and Savior.
