I just want to say im so sorry for the loss of your mother, she was a very sweet lady and I really enjoyed taking care of her. She was just a joy to see each night that I worked. It is very hard to lose someone that you love so very much, and it will take a while before you all will feel at peace with her not being around. I know what all of you all are going through and I want you to know I will be here for you if you ever need anything at all All my love and prayers, Barb Spears CNA at Rose Terrace
