We would like to thank all the nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, and staff of Bay Area Hospital ICU for the wonderful care they provided our mom while she was hospitalized. We truly appreciate how caring and supportive each of you were.

To my Janie bunch with love forever and always,

Ricardo.

You are a sunbeam and you will shine forever,

Forever in our hearts now that you’re gone.

You are a sunbeam, and you will shine wherever,

Wherever your soul decides to roam.

I wish you could have stayed a little longer,

And shone more of your sunlight in our lives’.

But having known you can I feel a little stronger,

Remembering the sunshine in your eyes.

Sunbeam you are gone but not forgotten,

You, I’ll carry with me every day,

I’ll think about the smile you smiled so often.

Until I see you once again someday.
