Mom loved to explore the great outdoors in search of the best camping and swimming hole but most of all the perfect tree.
Her gift as an artist touched the lives of many family members and friends. A hairdresser by trade, Mom’s intrinsic need for enlightenment through reading allowed her to spend her life teaching others how to open their hearts and minds to the possibilities in themselves.
Mom’s deep faith in her life hereafter brought peace and contentment to her and her family in the last days.
Till we meet again in our next life,
Love, All
