    Thoughts and prayers are with you Candice. Loved your mom. She had the biggest heart. She absolutely loved working with those babies and it takes someone with a special heart to do that. I know she is happy to see her Caroline again, unfortunately it is the people left behind here on earth that hurt so bad. Praying for a peace that only God can give you to understand.

    Pam, you were always the bright light in a room. Your smile was infectious. The twinkle in your eyes let us know you were up to something. Thank you for you unconditional love. Thank you for all the lessons you taught me. Thank you for holding my hand so many times. Thank you for teaching me how to be a NICU nurse. Thank you for being my friend. I will miss you desperately but will carry you in my heart and love you everyday for the rest of my days until we meet again. Candice your mother was so loved so now all that love will be passed right on over to you. You ever need any of us I'm sure we will be there in the blink of an eye.

    Loved your Mom and her cheerful, spunky, independent spirit, Candice. I grieve for your loss. She was such an example of faithful perseverance in the face of adversity. An incredible lady that will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and especially her Precepts family.
