She always gave more of herself than what was required. She inspired us all to live our lives the way she lived hers, with joy and laughter. In the process, she became a large part of the lives of everyone who knew her. She played the hand that she was dealt with grace and dignity. She leaves us with the same quiet ease and comfort that she always brought with her, a life well lived. ""For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith."" 2 Timothy: 4,6,7. Visitation will be from 6:00-8:00PM Tuesday, November 29th, at Hayworth-Miller Lewisville Chapel.
