“Honey I wonder where you keep your wings. Are they hung in your closet with the rest of your things? Do you put them away and just use them at night or give them to Rosie to polish up bright. I know you have wings, for this must be true, 'cause God always gives them to Angels just like you.”
The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude to Rocky Mountain Home Care staff, Logan Regional Hospital and staff, the staff of the Sunshine Terrace Care center and all the love, concern and support from family, neighbors and friends.
There will be a graveside service at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013 at the Smithfield City Cemetery.
