She was a strong woman by any standards, a fighter till the very end. There was nothing she would or could not do when faced with the impossible... She made sure that all 4 of her children had the best in clothing and shoes when it came to school. She would scrimp, save and back then there was "Layaway" but none the less we got name brand to wear. In 2008 she was diagnosed with kidney failure due to Diabetes... She underwent 6 years of dialysis which took a lot courage. The getting sick after treatments was heartbreaking but she did this 3 days a week no matter what... Until she could do it no more and the LORD above called her home.
