I took care of Ms. Saleeby many years while she was at Morningside, she was a very kind and caring lady. She called me Laura instead of my real name Kaye, because she said I reminded her of her sister. Every night before I left work, she would put the cross on my forehead and pray that I got home safely. I truly love and miss her very much. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.
Sincerely,
Kaye Storey from Morningside
