The family would like to thank the Doctors especially to Dr Jhinger and the nurses. The homecare workers who were so helpful with my sister the second-floor women's hospital on Notre Dame. Sherry “Chic” Turner for being by her side and mine. A huge thank-you to all the visitors that stopped by and shared some good laughs and stories. The people that cooked home cooked meals for us.

It Broke Our Hearts To Lose You
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch,
We will never lose the memory,
Of one we loved so much.
Thanks for the loving years you gave us,
The happy times we shared,
We all pray that when you left us,
You knew how much we cared.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
