We are especially grateful to her private caregiver Alicia Ruiz, her assistant Virginia Scott, and her business partner Rozalynn Woods. They were all such an important part of her life for many years. They did everything they could to give Maybelle the life she wanted. And she wouldn't have had it any other way!
