I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I enjoyed taking care of Mrs. Meeks and feel very privileged to have done so. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy.
Remember to hold tight to the memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
Wishing you peace and healing,
Ross Day
