I'm going to miss this beautiful woman. She had such a sweet smile and beautiful words of encouragement. She always talked of her family and the special memories. I really enjoyed doing her hair and being a part of her life at Brookridge. Truly loved this lady. God Bless the family and comfort them in this time of transition. I know God is holding her now.
