She always had a smile on her face. She was very upbeat, happy. She was a good Christian. She had so much faith in God.

We did all kinds of stuff.

I know in my mind that she went right up to heaven. I know she forgave her mother. She knows her mother was not in a sane mind. I know. She is forgiving. ... It's such a shock.

She was just in love with the Lord. She would never say anything bad about anyone; she was loving toward everyone.

I think of her as just a lady. She was the hostess, an organizer, just a warm smile. The best neighbor you could have, just the best neighbor.

A soft smile curved up her lips, and my gut dropped a little. A smile…I’d never known a smile could have that kind of effect. Could feel like a kick to the chest.
