To The Artis Family,
I met Mrs. Artis at dialysis. She was one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. I enjoyed seeing her on dialysis days and she was an inspiration to me. I will truly miss her but she has gone to get her reward. We loved her but God loved her best. Be encouraged!

To Ms Rosa's family,
We all know that Ms Rosa is in a much better place and she's not suffering anymore.It's going to be hard dealing with her loss, but we all know Ms Rosa loved us in her own special way.Cherish the memories you were able to make with her in your hearts and minds.
I'm going to miss "my little lady" but I'm thankful for the time I had with her and blessings of being able to be a part of your family.
Love Tonja aka PJ
