Lisa and Family,

I will always remember your Mom and Dad as two just wonderful people. You were blessed to have such great support growing up. . Your Mom could steer just about anyone in the right direction in life. She was so proud of you on your Wedding day, we laughed together remembering the years leading up to that time. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in my prayers.

It was a pleasure and an honor to be Alice's home care nurse for many years. A very sweet lady, a fellow RN, a sweet soul. Eternal rest grant unto her Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
