I use to be a housekeeper when it was Rosewood. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED that woman!! I would talk to her and she was very sweet!! She use to get up all the time and everyone would have to tell her to sit down "Cheryl" but that wasn't what she went by lol. I told her if she wanted to go somewhere, the chair moved and so she ventured a few places in it lol. I loved my job because of people like her. I looked forward to coming in. I'd say to her, "hey girl and yes she WOULD reply "hey girl" and smile through her tired eyes with those glasses. She is at peace hope. Very neat woman glad to of met her!
