Our Deepest Sympathy in the loss of a wonderful lady.
I have so many memories of this wonderful lady. She never called me by my given name. It was always "Honey" or Sweety". When I needed a nurse she was right there taking care of me. I also witnessed her love & faith after Dale suffered a stroke. She devoted every part of her being to taking care of him up until his death. My life was truly blessed to have her in it. So thankful that she is at rest now.
