of her youth fell thick in the blast, y
but with an unwavering trust she
lived for her children and those with
whom she came in contact. She was
faithful church woman, devoted
wife and mother, true and loyal
friend. The last year of her life
was one of great suffering, made
beautiful by the tender devotion of
her children and her patient fort
