I knew Daisy from the Nursing Home. You would see her and say "Hi Daisy How are you?" Her answer without missing a beat up until not long ago was always "Better now that I see you." I love and miss that woman!!!1

Daisy was a breath of fresh air! Loved having her as such a special neighbor and friend. I visited her every Sunday, until Covid hit. She used to sit and tell me stories about her growing up. I loved to listen to her stories. We loved visiting with her when she was still at home and she used to come and eat dinner with us from time to time. Always a wonderful smile that would light up the room! Daisy, you will be missed by many...We will meet again one day!
