She is a beacon of light for anyone who enters her orbit. Day in and day out she serves others, never seeking attention for herself and delighting in the people she loves most. Unlike so many of us, she never treats anyone like a second-class citizen, displaying love and patience with all. She has a heart for those with disabilties and bestows upon them dignity and love through all of her interactions. Gentleness and humility are her hallmarks and she radiates a calm that soothes the most fractious, frustrated soul. With tireless devotion she cares for her husband and her three little boys, as well as other people's children, with nary a word of complaint to be heard. My wife and I, among so many others, have never lacked for a listening ear, a smile, a hug, or a kind word whenever we have spent time around her. She operates behind the scenes in our community, often to little or no recognition, feeding people, nurturing them, and meeting numerous other needs; she is a steadfast presence who comes alongside others and walks with them.
She is a true and loyal friend, a loving mother, a modern saint. We are better people for having her in our lives.
