I am so sorry to hear of Mabels passing. I was a caregiver for her at the "Gables" while I was attending nursing school. She was a wonderfull person with a heart of gold. Her family was always kind as well. I am going to the Reds game on friday and I was just thinking of her the other day. I am now a nurse and people like Mabel truly make our jobs worth while. She was always so thankfull for everything and always had a smile on her face. Mabel may god bless you and your family. Amanda Meade RN

Dear Miss Mabel, I am so saddened to hear of your passing...oh how you will be fondly remembered!! I was just thinking of you a couple of weeks ago when the Reds season began again and how I would bring you the tv schedule on Sunday's when I cared for you at "The Gables". You were one of the reason's I went into nursing, your kind and gentle nature, never complaining about a thing and always with a smile. You coudn't help but love you!!Your sense of humor was unexpected and out of this world at times, you just told it the way it was!! Boy are you going to be terribly missed,there aren't many women left in the world quite like you Miss Mabel!! I will never forget you! God Bless your family as they grieve their loss and may you rest in peace, sweet sweet dear lady!
love,
