A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at Handley Funeral Home, Danville with Donnie Pauley officiating. Burial will follow in Family Gardens, Madison. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.

Alzheimer’s Prayer:
Do not ask me to remember.
Do not try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you’re with me,
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I’m confused beyond your concept,
I’m sad, and sick and lost.
All I know is I need you,
To be with me, at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me,
Do not scold or curse or cry.
I can’t help the way I’m acting,
I can’t be different even though I try.
Just remember that I need you,
That the best of me is gone.
Please don’t fail to stand beside me,
Love me ‘til my life is gone.
