I entered Tillie's life as a co-worker at Health South. I instantly knew she was a kind and strong person. I knew she loved her family and especially her grandchildren. Tillie always spoke to me and offered help. She cared for the patients in a genuine manner. She will always be remembered. Rest In Peace. I know she's in heaven smiling upon us. She'll be a guardian angel to all the family. ♥

I didn't know Tillie well but she did take care of my Dad twice when he was in Health South. She was extremely competent and caring and fought very hard for him to get the best care. I just wanted her family to know that she left a lasting impression on people even if she was only in their life for a short time. Prayers for comfort and peace for her family!
