Her family finds comfort knowing that she has been reunited with her husband, the love of her life. Her family will always cherish the memory of her waving and throwing kisses until her loved ones were out of sight. But her beautiful smile, generous spirit, joyful laugh, and abiding presence will forever be missed and forever felt.
