Our mother was strong, outgoing, loving and fiercely independent to the end. Family was the most important thing in her life. A value that she shared with family and friends. Her strong faith and trust in God got her through life's many challenges. Her most difficult was the loss of her youngest daughter Karin.
Our mother always shared special words of faith with family and friends.
