Last night, R’s mom passed away from liver cancer. She had outlived her husband by 17 years and survived breast cancer. MJ’s outlook on life was always positive and she embraced the beauty in the world and people.

The last time I got to see her was Christmas 2011 when she came to visit us for two weeks. It was a treat for us all. Sadly, her physical presence is no longer with us, but her spirit will live on.

May she rest in peace and be with the glory of our Heavenly Father for all eternity.
