I was grateful to be a part of her care at Neuvant House. She was such a sweet lady who I adored. I´m sad that I won´t get to tuck her into bed one last time and see her smile and hear her say "Thank You...See you in the Morning Sweetie". She was a great lady who loved to make people feel loved. I will truly miss her. I pass my condolences to the family and hope you find comfort in your time of need.
