She loved music, Celtic dancing, and had an amazing artistic ability. Our Mother made absolutely beautiful crafts, and furniture that she painted by hand freestyle. Her other hobbies included sewing and knitting. She also loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. She was a huge animal lover. She was very dedicated to making her many pets loved and cared for. One of her life long dreams was to own a farm and dedicate her life to the care of all animals, whether they were hurt or healthy. She was a beloved member of the Hamlin United Methodist Church.

We'd like to close with an Irish blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
May the rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand

We love and miss you more than words can say! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
