Mrs. Fowler, I met you at Baptist. You were one of the most sweetest residents I had. I felt so sad leaving you and when I find out our Father called you home it broke my heart. I wanted to see you one more time. I waited for your call. Rest in heaven my beautiful lady. It was such a pleasure meeting you. You truly touched my heart. I will carry you forever in my heart.
