A woman of unending kindness, quiet strength, and a profound faith in God; her life was a life well-lived. A life etched with curiosity, creativity, and integrity. Her interests were many: gardening, art, music, cooking, travel, reading, sewing, and nature. Always searching for the simple lessons in nature and life; a life filled with grace.
