I worked with Alma for several years at Community Hospital. She was a woman of amazing strength of character and kindness. I will always hold her close in my heart. I loved her like a mother. I will always be thankful that I got to see her the day before she passed. That was truly special. Rest well my dear old friend. I carry with me all the things you taught me.

Dear Grandma,
Words can't express the that sadness I feel in my heart now that your gone. I could have sworn that you would live forever. I know this is not goodbye, but you can never be replaced in my heart. I love you very much, always and forever.

I thank the Lord for finally granting you the peace and rest that you deserve.

Love you

Each time I think of Alma I have a smile on my face. She was an excellent Nurse, a wonderful person and a great friend. My heart goes out to her family, may God be with you and comfort you.
