To so many she was known as Ama. She had a love for animals, plants, the Dallas Cowboys, and a passion for cooking. Her home was always open and if you ever stopped by, you were probably not going to leave there without first eating a home cooked meal. She touched so many lives with her generosity and passion for life. She leaves behind so many beautiful memories and will always be in our hearts.
