Amanda & Lexi may you know your internal strength your mom has imparted to you as she lovingly nurtured and raised you! To watch you both grow over the years, she went beyond human limitations to create a home that was full of love, generosity and grounded by God. We prayed in your struggles, we celebrated your successes, we were overjoyed when you overcame adversity! I'm sure it was not always easy, but anything worth having ...is not easy!
May your memories of your family carry you on. Rely on one another one & take life one day at a time. It will be hard no doubt, be sure to ask for help.
God Bless, as heaven now has a wonderful angel watching over us all!
