Ama enjoyed life to the fullest. Ama was always there when we needed her and was loved by all. She loved music, dancing and any and all family gatherings. She was the anchor that held our family together. Ama loved to pray daily, sew and cook at any given time. Ama will be remembered as a matriarch of a God-loving family.
