To our loving Mother:

Words cannot express how much of a shock this has been to Dad, Steven, Elaine and myself... We realize you passed away so suddenly and peacefully, but why God took you from us is very difficult to understand. I have been told you are are angel now and will be looking down on us. We know you always worried about leaving Dad, but you can rest in peace knowing he will be taken care of. He misses you so dearly, but is glad you did not suffer. He has accepted our help and realizes we will be a big part in his life now. You have touched so many people in your life, an outstanding nurse, wonderful friend, mentor, the most loving mother anyone could have ever asked for, and lastly a beloved wife to Dad. I hope all of the other angels you will be joining know just how lucky they are to get such a special angel like you.

Love always and forever:

To Helen's Family,

I would like to express my sympathy to all of you. Helen was my nurse in the delivery room when my son was born 27 years ago. I remember her being so kind to me and so cheerfully helping me through the whole delivery. I have a picture of her holding my son with a very big smile on her face. I'm sure there are many more mothers who have fond memories of her kindness.

Now she will be remembered in my prayers.
