She was known as “Mother Teresa” to her Sunday school class and all who loved her. Among things like family and friends she also came to admire a lone tree that sat in the middle of a field off the freeway. It reminded her of the poem, "Trees....a tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray." There is a peace to know that she, Poppa, and Glenda Kay are happy sitting under that tree in heaven. She will be greatly missed by all who's life she touched.
