In loving memory of dear Sue

It was such an honour to care for Sue over this past year. They say Alzheimer’s steals so much, but it could never take the wonderful person she was. Through all the hardest days, I saw her gentleness, her patience, the deep love she held for her husband her three children and the special bond she shared with her little dog Archie too.

I felt so close to all of you – we shared so many moments together, and I know how much you all meant to her. I am so grateful I could be there for her, and for all of you, through this hardest of journeys.

Now her battle is over, and she is at peace, free from struggle. Thank you for letting me be part of her life, and part of yours. I will miss her dearly, and carry her in my heart forever.

Sleep well, dear Sue. ❤️

Love Marita-Ann ( Maz ) XxX
