"I only recently had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful lady, as I met her while visiting my dad in the Friendship Circle. I will miss seeing her face light up when I would call out her name, her gentle touch, quick wit, and beautiful smile. I know she will be missed by so many, but we can all be comforted by the fact that she is now 'Home'. God bless and comfort you all."
In loving memory of
