My dear precious friend, you have been such an inspiration to me through the years of being your nurse. Just when I would need a word of encouragement you would have one. You were such a tropper and fought a good fight. I will miss you dearly. Tell Jesus ##imported-begin##Sue Henderson##imported-end##
