One of the hardest things that has been required of me was the day that I had to let go as angels carried you at to heaven. It was an honor to know you and be your nurse, you definitely left a print in my heart. I love you
Although I only spent a short time with Fifi, I will never forget her spunky attitude, her delightful sense of humor and her deep love for Diana. She had an amazing life and God so very richly blessed her with a loving family. She will be missed, but remembered with fondness and admiration!
