Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Although I only met your Mom in person that one time, I felt like I knew her already through the wonderful stories you told about her. The love and admiration you have for one another was clearly evident and I am honored to have had the opportunity to meet the woman of which you spoke so highly.

I was glad I listened to my niece and the voice of the Lord telling me to go and visit your mother's room mate Rosalie last Thursday evening, I thank God for using me to be of service to the family members of Mrs. Worrall and witness her transition from earth to heaven. May God bless you all and I will continue to keep you in my prayers as you cherish your mother's memories and keep them in your hearts. She was blessed to live a productive life of 95 years, and is now at peace and rest. God bless you and keep you and give you strength. My niece was saddened, but she said that God took your mother to a better place where she will be forever young and in your hearts. She said she will say prayers for you too.
When I'm gone, remember me
by the life I tried to live;
the things that I have said and done;
the love I had to give.
When I'm gone, take comfort,
knowing pain and suffering is done.
Please remember I'll always love you.
Think of these things when I'm gone.
