On behalf of the team and families at Acres of Love, we send condolences and prayers for your family. Hope was a faithful partner in our work for decades, rescuing children and welcoming them into the love of family in South Africa.

We are praying for your family as you grieve the loss of such an incredible woman and we honor her beautiful life and legacy.

I went to China with your mom in 2013 with SDSU and she was such a beautiful spirit. I’ve been following her through CaringBridge and she has been such an inspiration to me as I am battling terminal cancer as well. I am sending so much love and prayers to your family. She will definitely shine through you and your siblings

We are praying for all of you and are so sad to hear this news. Your post is beautiful, Lilah. Thank you for sharing your heart and writing for your mom.

You are right to note that she inspired us all, not only with how she faced the challenges of these past several years, but how she lived her life.

She posted so many valuable lessons for all of us. Some of her powerful Facebook posts were brilliant, pointed, honest, so articulate, and yet full of grace. She called all of us to live worthy of the high calling we have in Christ and to be more like Him each day.

Yes, your family is her longevity now, and I have every confidence she has prepared you well.

Much love.
