Although our hearts are broken, we have such peace knowing that her angel who she would often say would visit her nightly, has ushered her into the place she so longed to be.  We take comfort in knowing she will be there to greet us when our time comes… oh, what a day, glorious day, that will be.

Sincere appreciation to New Life UPC, Compassus Hospice and our special friend Rhonda Miley.
