Dear Judy and Family,
It was my honor and privilege to know and care for your lovely
mother/grandmother. Although, she came into my life only two
short years ago, we quickly became friends and she will always
hold a special place in my heart. I have worked with many people
but she was my most favorite. I so appreciated her willingness to
assist in her care. I also really enjoyed her healthy appetite for
the meals I prepared. Her candid honesty often brought
amusement to my day. I will miss our time together but am
happy I had the chance to know her. I feel we now have another
angel in heaven looking out us.
Love and Blessings,
Kelly
