What she did as a Bible scholar gave us treasured souls, a pastor, a teacher, a councilor, an author. As an artist she embellished our lives with beauty of her own hands showing us how to love in deed.
No greater love can one have than to lay down their life for a friend, she got up and did that every day of her life.
