To the Family of Cordelia Hinshaw,
We are the Nurses Honor Guard of Wichita. We are sorry we were not able to honor Cordelia for her service as a nursing professional in person.
Nursing is a calling, a lifestyle, a way of living. Cordelia is not remembered just by her years as a nurse but by the difference she made during those years by stepping into people´s lives, by special moments when she was there.
Our sympathy, thoughts, and prayers to all of Cordelia´s family for your loss.

What a blessing it was to care for Dee, and to learn so much about the amazing lady she was. Galen, what a beautiful example of a husband and man of God, thank you for sharing her and also your life stories with us.
Prayers for all, that the memories outweigh the sadness when she comes to mind...
