She enjoyed sewing, cooking, baking, (she made the best fudge ever), doing her own gardening at home; but most of all, enjoyed spending quality time with her family and grandchildren, as well as taking care of them.

God looked upon his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down up this earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful now, HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST.
