Mom had a good life and the best gift she ever gave her children was the gospel of Jesus Christ. On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand All Other Ground is Sinking Sand became her mantra as she endured many treatments for cancer. She fought the good fight and is now with Jesus and her physical form rests waiting the day when Christ will return and call her to him.
