She loved praying the rosary and attending prayer group. She loved to dance and sing; she was a jokester and her silly personality. Her Contagious laugh and kind heart made it easy to love her just as much. She loved to create, sew and knit things for her friends and family. She was the softest, purest most angelic soul who loved everyone.
