I had the awesome privilege and pleasure of providing care for Mrs. Mildred. We spent approximately a year and a half together. She was truly a remarkable person who loved her family. While we will miss having her with us, her memories will live on. It was during my second visit with her, when I told her I would be with her until our heavenly father took her home....and so it was.
Let me thank Charles/Judy for welcoming me/Joyce into their home with such love. I pray that God strengthen all of you as you bid her farewell along with keeping her in your hearts.
Blessings,
