In Appreciation

Perhaps you song a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a floral arrangement, if so, we saw it there.  Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, that any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.  Perhaps you prepared some tasty foods, or maybe furnished a car, perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar.  Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part.

Special thanks and appreciation to Renee Smith and SBU - CVMC, Coosa Valley Hospice, Enhabit Hospice, Special hospice nurses, Savannah Duffee, Chaney Prince and Ebony Burton.
