Charlene, I’m so sorry to hear the passing of your lovely mother. She was such a bright light in this world. I spent lots of my days when I had extra time in her room chatting about something- birds, favorite snacks, and all of her sweet family members. I’m honored to be able to know her. Prayers to you all ❤️

Sorry to hear that Aunt Jeanette has left us for now, and for the painful feeling of loss her family is left with. I cannot recall a time when I saw her angry. She was a great woman and a strong support to her family for as long as I've known her.
