Ms. Carolyn
I admire you and have utmost respect for you. You have been through much trying to care for your mother and you never ever stopped no matter what you were going through. May God be with you and Mr. Drayton. I'm sure your place is already reserved in heaven. Remember earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with your Mother.
