Dear Marcus Family, I knew your mother from The Carrington. She and a friend of mine shared a table in the dining room. She would always ask my name and then tell me hers. I will remember her fondly knowing that she is completely "herself" again, happy, and at peace in Heaven. Sincerely, Linda Collins
