I want to express my sincere condolences with the friends and family of Mrs. Bodine. I was a caregiver at White Oaks for 3 1/2 years, before going away to school. It was always so nice to discuss books, authors and literature with Mrs. Bodine and her husband. What a lovely woman, a true lady.
My blessings to the family and friends of Mrs.Bodine.
