The scent of wood smoke, spiced candles, and the turning earth fills the air. Familiar smells can stir memories of loved ones who are missed. May those memories bring warmth and remind us that love remains. 🕯️

🌟 Tribute Tuesday Honoring Shay Massey 💛

Today, we celebrate Shay Massey, whose heart for people shines through her music, her care, and her ministry. Shay has been a nurse since 2009, beginning her career in hospitals before following her calling into hospice. It was during her time in labor and delivery, walking alongside grieving families, that she first realized her gift for comforting others. In hospice, she carried that gift even further, often singing hymns for her patients and, in many cases, singing them right into heaven. 🙏🎶

In 2021, Shay felt God calling her to live simply and serve Him in new ways. She trusted His leading and became a Med Tech at Mossy Creek Middle School, where she continues to serve with compassion and care. She also ministers through music, serving as a music minister and launching a student choir ministry. She loves singing with her students, sharing faith and joy through song.

One of her most memorable moments came when a student’s daily visits with her, listening to CeCe Winans’ “Goodness of God,” went viral on TikTok and Facebook. Shay later helped that student attend a CeCe Winans concert, creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

Her heart for others has been recognized in powerful ways, including when 13WMAZ featured her for saving a teacher’s life three years ago.

💛 Thank you, Shay, for following God’s call, comforting the grieving, and pouring your love of music and ministry into everyone you meet.✨️

🌟 Tribute Tuesday Honoring Saleha Crawford Wowaka 💛

Today, we honor Saleha Crawford Wowaka, who has devoted a combined 16 years to hospice care, touching the lives of countless patients and families by walking with them through end-of-life moments. Her heart for service and compassion has made a lasting impact on so many.

Saleha’s journey in healthcare began at Perry Hospital in the Newborn Nursery and Labor & Delivery. She went on to serve in Women’s Health with Dr. Elisabeth Wagner, then at Women’s Healthcare, before following her calling to hospice care with Heart of Georgia Hospice, where she continues to serve today.

Even after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis six years ago, Saleha continued to care for others while going through her own treatments. Her resilience and selflessness are a true inspiration.

Outside of work, Saleha treasures every moment spent with her grandbaby, finding joy in the simple, sweet blessings of life.

💛 Thank you, Saleha, for the love, strength, and compassion you share with so many.
