     The family wishes to thank the staffs of Anna’s Healthcare and SouthernCare Hospice for their kind and compassionate care shown to our mother. We also thank her friends and relatives who came to visit her. We all appreciate your friendship.

     God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around her and whispered “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away, and though we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. It proved to us that God only takes the “best”. You will be greatly missed by children and grandchildren.
