nights working in the concession stand and cheering on the many ball players

was the most gracious, strong, giving, loving and selfless angel they had
ever met. She was a second mother to many, and she welcomed anyone into her
home for dinner and conversation. She loved serving others and giving

with her Lord and Savior in Heaven.
