Annie, you got your angel wings sooner than I'd like. Prayers for peace for those boys and your family. Work will never be the same. You were one of the best nurses I've ever worked with. Kind, funny and you were so good to your residents. Say hello to heaven. I look forward to seeing you again, dear girl.
