We enjoyed knowing you and having you reside in the assisted program at the Myron Stratton Home, Ms. Pete, for the time that you were with us. I loved to hear you laugh. I remember when I did your interview for our " Getting to Know Me" page in the newsletter.I asked you what your most humbling experience was and you said, " Losing my eyesight." That was a humbling experience for me , as I think most of us take our eyesight and the rest of our good health for granted.I also remember going to your daughter and son-in-law's restaurant together and how nice it was. May you rest in peace, Ms. Pete, with your new eternal body and fully recovered eyes. Love you, Denise
