Many years ago I worked with Sharon, she was a good nurse, cared about everyone. God will help everyone through these hard times, some times we think God puts more on us than we can tolerate, but he don't, God is there beside of us each step of way to help us. Thinking and praying for everyone. God bless

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
