Mom was a profound Christian who spent her greatest years raising three boys who loved her unceasingly. Her selfless heart and unwavering faith led her to being a devout wife to her husband, giving her last dollar to ones in need, praying for loved ones and strangers for hours on end. She battled severe mental illness for the majority of her life, which was the greatest testimony to her faith and unwillingness to give up hope.
