"During my Mom's last few years she smiled more than ever, she endured pain and never spoke of her health battles consuming her life and body. Her illness affected many aspects of her life, yet it never changed her from being a mother, grandmother or great-grandmother.

"Mother struggled daily in life, but NEVER in FAITH! For all who knew my mom, may you go forward in your life's journey with her mission: 'Family & Faith=Compassion and Understanding.' My mother held the positive understanding that this is not her eternal body, now her rest is!

"Numerous people helped and guided my mother along her path in life, to each, we are forever grateful. Down to my mother's last days, she was still assisting with clients, to these people who allowed her her dignity and her life's work to continue...thank you!

"To all my Mother's friends who cared enough to share a story or a moment with her, thank you! For the staff at Co-Med, thank you for giving my Mother respect. For the staff at Medical Pharmacy in Zachary, thank you for always caring enough to make the extra effort. Thank you, Hospice Compassus and Ms. Dina Bacon."
