She made a brave attempt and believed she would overcome her sickness until the day she died.
She was a pillar of strength who consistently called people out when they were wrong while also expressing sympathy and love for them. White’s undying love for her was evident from the beginning of their marriage and has only gotten stronger in the last year. White was there for her every step of the way, taking care of her and expressing his love for her in whatever manner he could, and she was grateful to have him there.
