My sympathy to Jim and his family on the passing of your loved one. I had the pleasure of taking care of Betty at Berks Heim. I called her Mom- mom because she was like a grandmother to me. I loved her dearly and I will miss her greatly. I am thankful for the opportunity to take care of this wonderful lady and to also get to meet some of her great family. RIP mom- mom
