I have many fond memories of doing her hair when I worked at Heartland a few years ago. She was always a happy soul, enduring many obstacles in her life. I always remember stopping by her room to chat and her always having her goodies that her brother would bring her offering me a candy or her goodies. She was a wonderful women. God bless Miss Bay and your family.
