Dear Alex and Family:
I'm very sorry for your loss. I am grateful to have witnessed the pure love you shared for one another. It was my great pleasure and honor to have had the opportunity to care for Anita and contribute to make her comfortable. We both know she will not leave us entirely, she is hear among us shining through the clouds and gently touching us with her wings. You have a beautiful angel to look over you Alex. I care about you so much and I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. She'll be forever remembered at 5N!
Love, Sarah.K, RN

Dear Alex,

Please except my deepest condolences for your loss . Remember God promises a world free ofsuffering. Rejoice in the hope.Romans 12:12 Instead of dwelling on lost happiness we can meditate on God's promises to end all suffering. Ecclesiastes 7:10
