We were so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I feel so honored to have been able to know her as her CNA when she came into Asheville Health Care, and later when I was in Housekeeping and then working as Receptionist being able to visit and talk to her every day that I was working. Talking to Edna would always brighten my day. She had such a wonderful personality and always seemed to look on the bright side. I have a beaded necklace that she had made for the Activity Department fund raiser that I bought and will always cherish because it reminds me of what a wonderful, sweet person she was.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
