Her favorite bible passages:
John 14:1-3: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in god, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, There ye may be also.

Psalms 71:18: Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, Forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

Things she wanted to tell her family and friends:
I am sorry that I was not a better wife, mother and friend to each of you. I did the best I could.
Thanks for loving me! I look forward to spending the rest of the ages with you in heaven.
Enjoy life to the fullest and take time to enjoy the dandelions, God made them too.
Always remember, nothing is too big for God to handle.
Go out and blow some bubbles when you get blue.
