The road you walked was anything but easy we fought our fight, now your race is run you will live on in my heart. I’ll feel your presence when the wild flowers bloom, I’ll hear your voice in the flutter of the humming bird wings. Dementia didn’t win, God just needed his Angel to come Home….
A very special Thank you to Centric Hospice for all the love and support you poured upon us. God sent us Angels and we were so blessed to have such a beautiful team. Words cannot express how grateful I will always be.
No funeral services are planned at this time.
Arrangements were under the care of Brown’s Funeral Service, Durant.
