I became acquainted withTootie in October of 2013 when my mother-in-law became her roommate at Park View Meadows. I liked her immediately and always looked forward to seeing her when I came to visit. She had so much spunk and wit. I can only imagine how much fun she was to be around when she was younger. I will miss her but rejoice that she is now in her eternal home with our Heavenly Father.
