She was a beautiful and gentle soul, she was kind and selfless, sassy but loyal. She loved with her whole heart, there was nobody else I knew that could read the Bible more than 17 times yet still claimed that it wasn’t enough. She was a genuine woman, she loved Jesus with all of her heart. She made sure to always let me know how much he loved me and I will forever cherish her for helping me be close to him.
