Linda and Family, I would like to thank you for allowing Mrs. Hopkins into my life. I enjoyed taking care of her during her last months here on earth. She was a joy and yes we had our rough times too. Although we all love her Jesus loves her more so He completed her mansion and called her home. Now she is pain free and helping with the daily duties in Heaven. May God give you comfort and strength during this time. My prayers are with you always.
Love in Christ,
Felicia Danforth,cna (oak)

A Daughter's Promise
Every time that I smile,
Every time that I sigh,
I think of your face,
And a tear escapes my eye.
You were my world,
My inspiration and my heart,
But when you left me,
I thought I would fall apart.
You were my best friend,
My one true 'confidante',
And that's not all you were,
You were also my mom.
I didn't want to live without you,
But you would have wanted me to,
And if there's anyone I want to make happy,
That anyone is you
I would have given anything to have you back,
But I know now that it was meant to be,
For you are still watching from up there,
And I know you're watching me.
I'll make you proud mom,
I'm going to fulfill your wish,
You're going to see me and smile,
That's a daughter's promise

Aunt Carolyn, I will miss all the times that we shared. I will always remember the time we spent in Germany, all of our Christmas' and Thanksgivings...most of all I will remember how I spent most of my childhood hanging out at your house with my cousins. I remember how I loved when you cooked SOS and Pepper Steak! I thought you were the best cook ever! I will miss you but I know that now you are able to be with those who passed before you and who you missed so much... Larry, Laura, John John and Grandma. I know you must be thrilled to see John John running and playing like he was unable to do while he was here on earth. Please give Grandma a hug for me. I love you and will miss you dearly!
Your niece,
Elizabeth Brim

I will always treasure the time we spent together. You were an amazing woman. When I told Dana that God took you home, I had a vision of you sitting and talking to Mom (Laura) and telling her all about her two grand daughters (Dana and Lilly) that she never got to meet. You definitely have a lot of catching up to do together. I guess God decided that he needed you with him more than we needed you here. We all are glad that you aren't suffering anymore, but we're selfish and still want you here with us. Some day we will see you again and I'm sure you will be waiting for us with one of your wonderful hugs. I love and miss you, Memaw.
