Guest Book

I saw Mary in December 2019 at the facility Christmas Dinner. I actually took a picture with her that day. When I heard that she was initially in a home, I looked for her until I found her. She was a classmate and because we shared a lot of fun times in and out of school, I had to locate her. I'm very sorry to hear of her transition. Arnetta Graham Hulen, Avon Park, Florida
