was a sincere expression of the love she bore to all she met,
beginning in her home and reaching out to each remote acquaintance.
She responded freely to every call of her church and community,
and her motherly love was in the atmosphere of the home and was
returned by all the inmates. Even the chance caller was impressed
with this greatest of all gifts as expressed by this dear woman.
