Your mother was a lovely, kind and compassionate nurse with whom I was blessed to have known during my nursing career. I am so very sorry for the loss of her presence in your life but I know she is rejoicing in heaven now. May God's peace and comfort sustain you during this time of grief.

Her greatest legacy was her three children and five grandchildren. She was not one to brag but believe me she was proud. She was truly blessed to have had 73 years filled with MANY who loved her.
