Hi Donna, I don't know if you remember me, but I made home health visits on your Mother through SMAH. I also was a Pt of Dr Gurrhams. Your mother was a sweet lady. I know your Father and you have a lot of good memories of the times you spent with her. Christine

Dear family,
I am sure that she will be missed. I remember certain things that I will never forget about her and know that those close to me will miss her dearly as well. Sometimes life goes by so quickly and we do not realize that the time continues as we get so wrapped up in the days and don't get the time to make sure that everyone we know knows that we care. We all did and I hope that she is there with the other ones we have lost looking down on us and assuring that we know that there is no more pain. The suffering is over and we can be happy knowing that she was loved.
