Larry, I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Of my favorite people who live at Laurelwood, she was second only to my own mother. She was a kind and generous person. Whenever my mother was not well, your mother would make her way down the hall to check on her. It was easy to love Ms Mary. I will miss her so much when I visit Laurelwood.
