The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Brian Scott as well as to the entire staff at St. Paul Elder Services. Your excellent care made mother so very comfortable during her stay. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Mom – a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a friend; but greatest of all, a teacher. A teacher of life, kindness, and love for the Lord. We haven't heard your voice for a long time, however your silence spoke volumes. Your smile warmed and brightened everyone who would greet you. No one will ever
forget that smile. You are where you always wanted to be – in the comfort of the Lord's arms. We hope to have your courage and live up to your dreams. We will miss you, Mom.

Love, your children.
