Going Home: As the sun rises every morning, it warms me with God’s loving promise. As darkness encloses me I pray the loving Lord to peacefully lead me home. And that he comforts my loved ones whom I had to leave behind on my way home. Don’t be saddened by my journey. Lift your grieving hearts towards the Heavens and I’ll be there to ease your sorrow. Rejoice with me for I am going Home! — Chanon Gallow-
The family would like to offer a special thank you to the nurses and staff of the Christian Park Health Care Center. We could never have gotten through this without your support.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I will always have fond memories of her. She was fun to kid around with and she could could give it right back. She was a doll. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to call. She is in my prayers.
