Dear Dutton Family,
I am so sorry about your Mom. I took care of her for a few years while I worked at Restmor. She was one of my favorite ladies. She loved getting showers and knew if I cared for her (3rd shift) in the AM she would get one. She often spoke of you Marcia, when you would come to see her, and she looked forward to her niece that styled her hair.She enjoyed telling me about the "lunch places". I think her favorite was Maria's in Washington.
My prayers for you all.
