A sweet and inviting smile, a kind word of encouragement; she opened her heart and life to serve others and made a difference in the lives of so many. She will never know how many lives she touched, but those she touched will never forget what she did for them. Thank you for your endless love of humanity, you will be missed!

I will miss so many things about you:the way you could cheer me up with a silly text or just commiserate over a bad day. No matter how tough it got you powered on taking care of everyone else. But most of all I will miss your unfailingly strong spirit! Love you, Linda Howerton
