My sincerest condolences to the family. May all your wonderful memories give you strength during this time.
Terry & Family,
All of you have my deepest condolences on the passing of one amazing woman! She is one of the ladies that introduced me to being a CNA. I have so many great memories of working the floor with her. Some things I will cherish dearly are our water fights and wheelchair races in the hallways at the Wells Nursing Home……We traumatized our DON often back then. Good times and good laughs. She catered many events for my family and did our wedding cake over 17 years ago. Words can not help your pain as you say see you later to one heck of an amazing woman. Know that I am here if you need anything. Hugs and love to all of you!
Dave and I are so very sorry for everyones loss. God bless
