To the family of Gwen Pilsch; I loved Ms. Pilsch so much, it was such an honor to take care of her. She reminded me so much of my mother and she had such a wonderful place in my heart. I wish when I went to hospice of West Alabama to visit her and give her the gifts and the beautiful card I bought her, that she would have known I was there to see her. She will be sadly missed.
