What can you say about loosing someone that you have been friends with for your entire adult life? There won't be a day that goes by that I don't think about her and remember the times we had together, both good and bad. Heather and Michael, she loved you both so very much and she was so proud of the both of you. To Buzzy, you were a godsent to her in her last months. She constantly talked about how much your help and guidance meant to her and she loved you so much for being there for her in her time of need. Without a doubt, she will have a place with the angels for all of her caring and compassion that she had for the elderly. May Jesus grant her family the peace and consolation that they need to heal during this time of sadness and grief. May she rest in peace and never been forgotten. With love..... Cheryl

What do you say when you loose a friend that you have had most of your adult life? That she'll be missed? That she was loved? Words can't describe how I feel or how heavy my heart is. May Jesus grant peace and comfort to Heather and Michael during this time of grief and sadness. She loved both of you so very very much and was so very proud of the both of you. To Buzzy, you were a godsent to her in her last months and she said more than once that she didn't know what she would do without you and the help you gave her. I will miss her more than words can say and I will never forget her. She will without a doubt have a place among the angels for her compassion and care that she gave to the elderly. May her soul rest in peace.
