See Condolences

Jean was one of my very favorite residents at the nursing home. I took care of her the entire time she resided there. She was trying at times but that was what made her special to me. No matter how confused she got her face always lit up when she saw me and she always said she was happy to see me as I was to see her. She will be truly missed. Very special lady.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
