  3. Our precious daughter. We watched you endure the scourge of MS for 30 years with such courage and put up a fight to the end.
    You had an infectious smile and your eyes said so much. You called yourself the smiling assassin’. You were such an inspiration to all who knew you.
    You will be sadly missed but we are comforted to know that you loved the Lord and are now with Him in heaven, free from all pain and restrictions.
