Even though these times are hard and sometimes not understood. You were force to make a decision that no one should want to. As I 've told you before time will heal your heart but her place will never be refilled. I've been in your position and somedays are better than others. Keep the faith in God and know that she suffers no more.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Sallie was a great nurse and neighbor. Mrs. Sallie took care of Marcus and I during his birth at MCV. Always keep her memories close to you. Hold on to God's unchanging hand and may God hold each of you in His loving arms to ease the pain. God bless you.
