was needed by her and many around her, and her heart softened and she totally forgave all and in turn was totally forgiven and sanctified through wondrous gift of the atonement our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
Her positive influence in life was felt by many, family, friends and especially those she served and served with as a nurse, mostly in the geriatric field at Sunshine Terrace and numerous other facilities. That influence will grow as she continues her
missions in the next life with angelic assistance to many on this side of the veil as well.
