Our family wishes to extend a special thank you to all the caregivers, nurses, and organizations that provided her loving care at the end of her life. A beautiful garden now stands alone, missing the one who nurtured it, but now she is gone. Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines, but the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind. The beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay, she loved every flower, but just like her flowers she was part of Gods plan, So when it was her time he reached down his hand, He look through the Garden searching for the best and found Mom. It was her time to rest, It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go, but God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul. So when you start missing her, remember if you just wait, when God has a spot in his garden. She'll meet you at the gate....
