During her entire life, she practiced Christian principals in her house and in her community. Her life was a testimony to the Writings in the Proverbs:
She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat of the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
Therefore, with the poet we can say:
Out of Earth
the flower,
Out of Winter,
Spring
Death cannot hold forever,
anything.
