A special heartfelt thanks to Capital Caring Hospice for their genuine care of Kathleen and her family Kathleen will be greatly missed and is much loved. Below is a poem that Kathleen had in her notebook.

The Lord saw you had suffered and knew you had your share.

He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in his care.

Your memory is our keepsake with that we will never part.

God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.

Nothing could be more beautiful than the memories we have of you.

To us you were someone special. God must have though so too.

All our lives we shall miss you as the years come and go, but in our hearts you will live forever.

Because we love you so.

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around you and whispered “come with me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly a golden heart stopped beating hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best!
