There are few words that can soothe your hearts at this time. Some may ask why now? No answer seems to satify your grief. Our faith teaches us that God has a plan, and He can not make a mistake.
Blessings and love always,

I met Angel wen I was working at Manatee Memorial Hospital and for some reason every time she would come in the hospital its like we starting just bonding and this was before I new wat her last name was cause I always called her angel so every time she would come in the hospital she would have the nurses find out if I was working because sometimes she would be on a different floor so happen one day she came in the hospital and she was brought to my floor and all of a sudden I heard the nurse saying are you alright Ms Waiters and I couldn't figure out y was the nurse calling angel ms waiters and then I heard her say once y'all get me settled can you find out if shawn is at work so the nurse said shawn who and angel said I don't no her last name but every time I'm in the hospital she comes and sit wit me help me bathe and keep me company so the nurse said well we have a CNA up here by the name Shawn and she has the same name as you and angel said r you sure they're the same Shawn and the nurse said hold on let me get her for you and wen I walked in the room she said omg it is you and she just went to crying and we hugged and she said all this time you been taking care of me we never new each other last name and she said I new it was something about you for me to be this attached to you and she said I don't no how we're related but I new this had to be blood and from then on wen she came in the hospital and I wasn't working she would call me and I would come and sit with her same as if I was at work and wen she called she would always say to me hi cuz this is angel are you here at work today because I'm back in here and sometimes I would answer and say yes cuz I'm here I'll be right down and if I didn't answer she would leave me a message and at the end of the message it would say love cuz and I would always leave her the same message,So my condolences goes out to the family and my dear sweet cuz angel I will miss you dearly you can now RIP no more pain Love you baby girl always Your cuz Shawn!!!!!

My condolences to the family. The first time I met Ms. Waiters she made an impact on my life. The last time I saw her she made an even bigger impact. She was a true soldier and I could feel her quiet strength. I was truly taken aback when I heard of her passing. I'm sure she will be missed. May God continue to keep her family and friends close to Him as she is with Him.
