Special Thanks extended to Ms. Louise Smith for taking care of our dear mother for the past two years as she recovered at home, she even sat with her in the hospital for us. She was one of the first people mom spoke to when she started speaking again back in September.

Extra Special Thanks!!! extended to Mrs. Rosemary Merrickes for keeping a watchful eye on mama in the hospital and rehab center when we were unavailable.

She kept us informed of the updates hot off the press. She let the nurses and the doctors know what the family wanted done and assured that it was done.

Thanks to Mrs. Essie Ross for her friendship over 50 years.
