If the year 2020 AD didn’t throw us enough curveballs, “school” now morphed into a stay-at-home, online experience.

She enjoyed imparting her love for the Lord and His Word to little children.
Over the years, she has taken the opportunity to speak at churches, retreats and parachurch organizations such as Aglow.
