In her life, she had a passion for God, family, and life. She loved to smile and give a smile to those in need of one. She loved to love people for who they were, not for what they seemed. She looked for the good and best in everyone that she came into contact with. She worked hard at turning negatives into positives with the gifts of a natural talent that God blessed her with.
