To Leslie & family, I am a nurse aide at Canton Christian Home, I helped to care for your Mom. I am so sorry for the loss. She was truly a blessing to me & she so loved her family. I will truly miss her. I loved seeing her face when I put her in the whirlpool bath for the first time. Priceless! Smiles from ear to ear ... she said "I have found heaven". May you find comfort in the Lord at this difficult time.
