NANCY We knew you were hurting, even though you couldn't cry. Your strenghth was fading; you couldn't even open your eye. We watched you take your last breaths, hoping we could see many more. We watched you helpless in bed, never looking like this before. You were near the end, in our hearts we knew. But in our minds, we didn't believe it was true. Why did you suffer, for it was nothing you deserved. Standing there beside you, it is a moment we will preserve. Life is too fragile for us to let it waste. That is why every moment you have with a loved one you have to embrace. We know now you are in a safer, better place. Of all the aid and joy you brought to us, it will never be erased. Love, Christina

My prayers are with you all, She was a great friend. We spent many years together as we grew up,there was only a park that seperated us In later years when she came down to her Mom's we got together and had tea. In the past few years she always called me on saturdays and we talked for least an hour each time. Every summer she would come to my house and we would have our yearly lunch together.I was so happy I got to see her and talk to her a week before she pasted, I told her I loved her and kissed her good-bye. My love is sent to you all. With Love, Audrey
