I am saddened to hear that Miss Daisy is gone. She was a very special lady and was so kind to my Mother while she was at Bon Secours. I know it will be an emptier place without her. My thoughts are with her family, especially Iris who took such care of her. I know she will be missed. God Bless.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget".
Aunt Daisy is a wonderful angel watching over us.
Love & Hugs,
Kim
