In my 17 years as working as a CNA, I have watched 1000’s of people take their last breath.

“The amount of times I had to prepare a body to be sent to a funeral home from all ages is heart wrenching. Including my own family members. At 34 I would never thought I would be parentless. It is so important to live, laugh, and love. As cliche as that sounds it is so true!”
