I was the nurse for Mrs. Margaret, she was genuinely one of my favorite patients. I enjoyed listening to the stories about her family. All of her family seemed very close knit, I could tell they all loved her dearly. Every night - there would be a different family member there, one of them was even her great great grandson. Mrs. Margaret was very blessed to have a family like hers. I will never forget Mrs. Margaret - it is patients like her that remind us nurses why we do what we do. My condolences are with the family always. Never forget your love for each other & keep God close in these trying times.

Since August, Mawmaw, my whole world has revolved around you as if you were the sun itself. I’d walk through the door after leaving you, carrying your presence in my hands like something fragile and holy. No matter where I was, my mind stayed anchored to you – every thought, every breath, every quiet hour humming with your name. And I swear, I would’ve walked that path for a thousand lifetimes if it meant trading even a drop of your suffering for my strength. Now you’re finally at peace, and it hits me with this bone-deep, tear-soaked gratitude – the kind that feels like God cracking open the clouds just to say, “She’s safe now.” Papa took your hand and guided you the instant you loosened your grip on this world. I can see it so clearly – him standing there, steady as ever, ushering you into the heaven you spent decades building with grace, kindness, and that fierce, gentle love nobody else could replicate. To have been yours, to be your granddaughter, was a blessing I’ll spend my whole life trying to live up to. My life is marked forever by you, but you haven’t left me. I still feel you in the hushed moments, in the air shifting around me, in the corners of my heart where you planted whole gardens out of nothing but love. Most people never get a bond like ours. I’ll carry it like a torch – bright, relentless, eternal. I promise you this: I will watch over Pawpaw. I’ll stand in the gap. I’ll hold him steady on the nights that break him. I won’t let him walk this valley alone. Rest now, my sweet Mawmaw. I know you were tired. You always called me your favorite granddaughter, even though I was your only one. Maybe that’s the most beautiful part. Maybe it was meant to be me. Maybe love really does choose its own people. 
Your love is stitched into every heartbeat I have left. 
I love you always 😭💔🕊️🪽


Your favorite granddaughter

Hope Savoie

Rest in the peace of our Lord.  May you always look over us, guiding us home to meet you and our loved ones.  Love you.  You were the best mother-in-law a girl could ask to have. I pray my memories of you stay strong in my mind as well as all of the lessons you taught me.

Your daughter-in-law,

Tina Savoie

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
