Essie, you will be greatly missed. From the phone calls to ask if I am work to the yelling out the mail box number while I am checking the mail. All the deep conversations about nursing and life I will cherish. I can’t wait to hear you say “I love you back” again. Rest in peace my sweet angel.
Love,
“My adopted daughter”
