A heartfelt thank you to the nursing staff of St. Mary's for their compassionate care of Shirley and the entire family. Special thank you for the visit by Sister Georgeann.

God saw that she was 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 her suffer
and saw her fade away;
although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
