My sympathies goes out to the bereaved family of Mrs.Smith.She was my nurse several years ago and a great one she was.She had other talents as well and she made me a special card just for me. I didn't know she did calligraphy as well.Later years we met again at Cato's and I talked her into paying the balance on her hat that she wanted for church.What a pleasure it was to do something special for her. An angel that has earned her wings.

Louise Rogers

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
