It was a priviladge to be one of the nurses who cared for Elizabeth. I was very blessed to care for her during her last days spent on this earth. I never meet her when she was awake and talking but the testimony of other staff touched my heart. On several different occasions other staff members would give such great compliments about her such as "her radiant glow filled a room" "her smile was so beautiful" "she had such a positive attitude for being so ill". It was a blessing for me to care for such a God loving woman. My prayers are with the family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
