Music was her life, she could hear a tune and play it; everything from rap to opera, she played in café bands and various bars, until meeting the Lord and she begin playing piano in church at Divine Hope in Red Oak. She was sometimes overprotective but more often she was comical and funny, sweet, loving and caring, honest and sometimes blunt, but always telling a person what they needed to hear.
