Even though she progressivly worsened over the years, she always had a beautiful, happy, additude. She laughed at so many things when she could have been crying instead.
Iletta believed in Jesus and his saving power. Here on earth she no-longer could walk, now in heaven she is running. Here on earth she could no-longer speak but a few soft words, now she is singing with the angels.
We will greatly miss your laughter and the wiggling of your finger. |
