We would like to thank the staff at The Camellia, especially Jackie, for the care given over the past several months, and Vista Hospice for their help over the past few weeks.

 

Our Father, 

Who art in Heaven, 

hallowed be Thy name; 

Thy Kingdom come, 

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil

Amen.
