There was never a time that she did not open her home to a family member in need. She had a special way with expressing herself, by the time she finished her sentence, and trust us she had you in laughter. Just like her mother, her kids came first. She always obeyed God's greatest command and that was "Love". She loved you before she loved herself and cared for you before she would care for herself. She taught "not to hate and only love one another". One of her favorite pastimes was playing Bingo, watching movies or having her special company...her dog, Buttons.
